众生皆苦。
Thus, it does not make sense for us to seek for total avoidance of pain;
instead, when pain inevitably hits, we should first try to find peace with it,
and then see if we can learn anything from it and come out of it being even stronger and mentally tougher.
On the other hand, if we have not yet developed any constructive perception towards it, we might wallow in the pain and get drowned in the bitter sea of our own making.
Choose.
