Arise Quote by Francisco Varela
“All our suffering is associated with this pre-occupation. All loss and gain, pleasure and pain arise because we identify so closely with this vague feeling of selfness that we have. We are so emotionally involved with and attached to this "self" that we take it for granted.”
![“[M]any people would accept that we do not really have knowledge of the world; we have knowledge only of our representations of the world. Yet we seem condemned by our consitution to treat these representations as if they were the world, for our everyday experience feels as if it were of a given…” quote by Francisco Varela](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/02c/francisco-varela-42411_accepting_m-any-people-would-accept-that-we-do-not_2580091.jpg)
