# Suffering
Strong suggestion...focus on others and being there for others if you are suffering.
Pain is unavoidable. Suffering is optional.
All evidence of suffering is in the past. [[be here now]]
[[it is a matter of focus]]

## Misc
- I have thought that seeking certain types of suffering might be wise (specifically - pain from working out, [[cold water|cold plunge]], )
