The end of sorrow

" We are burdened with sorrow; our life is a process of misery and strife, a continuous disintegration, and we almost never know what it is to love with our whole being.We want to find a solution, a means, a method by which to resolve this burden of life, and so we never actually look at sorrow. We try to escape through myths, through images, through speculation; we hope to find some way to avoid this weight, to stay ahead of the wave of sorrow.Sorrow has an ending, but it does not come about through any system or method. There is no sorrow when there is perception of what is."

J. Krishnamurti, The Book of Life
