Quote by Laini Taylor

“But… why pain? Couldn’t you give something else? Like… joy?” “It’s a balance. If it were something easy to give, it would be meaningless.” Karou said, “You really think joy is easier to come by than pain? Which have you had more of?” He gave her a long look. “That’s a good point. But I didn’t create the system.”

One doesn’t need to sit in a yogic pose to meditate. Whenever you are on a train or a car, just look outside the window, and you’ll achieve a state of delight akin to meditation.”
