Suffering is like a jewel, a great jewel. And if you have a great jewel in your hand, you look at it. You marvel at it. You see the beauty of it, how it is set. Platinum, gold, silver. Such delicacy, such refinement, such beauty. A part of you wants to run away from it. In the same way, one can hold that thing — sorrow — not get morbid — and not run away from it. Just hold it and look at it.

— Jiddu Krishnamurti, Saanen, 1984
