Quote by Marie Chieze

“A fundamental principle in spirituality emphasizes that we are not our thoughts. This concept is essential to initiate inner change. Buddhism teaches that attachment to our thoughts perpetuates suffering. Buddhist practices aim to observe, examine our thoughts, revealing their ephemeral and changing nature, and that they do not define who we are.”

But human pain isn't infinite, because nothing human is infinite, and our pain has no value beyond its being a pain we feel.”
