We can’t avoid suffering, but we can lessen our suffering by understanding why we are suffering. When there is understanding and when there is acceptance, there is less suffering. The more you understand, the lesser you suffer. Sometimes, all we need to do to avoid suffering is to let go, and accept what comes.
We suffer from the fear and uncertainty of the unknown. What we do not know or understand, we imagine the worst and hence, we fear. We have a hard time letting go of this fear and so we continue to suffer again and again. The answer to that, then, would be to look at what is making you suffer. Once you find the cause, you can take preventive measures. And if there is nothing you can do about it, you just have to face up to what’s coming your way. That is Life.
Stop clinging to things, to people. Clinging is suffering. Let go, and accept.
Suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting; it is a sign of our unwillingness to move on, to flow with life. - Nisargadatta Maharaj
The man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears. - Michel de Montaigne
There are more things to alarm us than to harm us, and we suffer more often in apprehension than reality. - Seneca
We can put an end to our suffering just by realizing that our suffering is not worth suffering for. - Thich Nhat Hanh
