Second Darts

From the above:

First Dart: Per an expression from Buddha, “the inescapable physical or mental discomfort is the “first dart” of existence.”

Second Dart(s): Our reactions to first darts. These are the darts we tend to throw ourselves. Most of our suffering comes from second darts.

This quote sums it up nicely…..

“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.” ~Haruki Murakami
