Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional “Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. Say you’re running and you think, ‘Man, this hurts, I can’t take it anymore. The ‘hurt’ part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand anymore is up to the runner himself.”
– Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running https://qoto.org/@FailForward/105618877738226192
