[A human Being]

'Wanting is not the root of suffering, it is the result of suffering. All wanting is designed to get you away from something you don't want to feel: I want love because I don't want to feel the pain of not being loved; I want a fancy house so I don't have to feel the pain of poverty. Every single want is designed to escape from a feeling, so in essence all wanting is a form of movement that propagates suffering.' - Teal Swan

'There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.' - Carl Jung
