"Suffering begins when you mentally label a situation……" — Eckhart Tolle
"Suffering begins when you mentally label a situation as bad. That causes an emotional contraction. When you let it be, without naming it, enormous power is available to you. The contraction cuts you off from that power, the power of life itself."
