One must learn to endure pain, become friends with it and welcome it, being scared of pain and avoiding it will not strengthen the mind against its inevitable effects, no one escapes pain, if you havnt
be frieneded it, one day when it arrives it will smash the mind like a watermelon falling from the sky. We do not become strong by living a life of happiness and pleasure and visiting comedy shows, we become strong by enduring the smashing effects that pain is accompanied with. When it arrives dont attempt to reject it, feel it out and accept it from the deepest part of your heart, feel it running through the veins, let it become apart of you so you can use it when hard times arrive.
