βA person who is beginning to sense the suffering of life is, at the same time, beginning to awaken to deeper realities, truer realities. For suffering smashes to pieces the complacency of our normal fictions about reality, and forces us to become alive in a special senseβto see carefully, to feel deeply, to touch our worlds in ways we have heretofore avoided.β
