““I have found the reason why people suffer. It's in their ego. It's in themselves. It's who they are. They don't deserve the suffering, but they surely need it. People that suffer are too stubborn to realize that they don't know what they assume to know. They hold aggressively to their beliefs when confronted and even more when such beliefs are threatened. Therefore, they have to suffer for their beliefs. Until they change their beliefs, they will remain in suffering, and very likely suffer much more, in more ways, and much deeper.””
