![“Pain in life is inevitable but suffering is not. Pain is what the world does to you, suffering is what you do to yourself [by the way you think about the 'pain' you receive]. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. [You can always be grateful that the pain is not worse in quality, quantity…” quote by Gautama Buddha](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/faa/gautama-buddha-163_be-grateful_pain-in-life-is-inevitable-but-suffering_611620.jpg)
