Scott Perry explores the difference between pain and suffering. Pain happens to everyone. Suffering is what you add when you cling to your reaction instead of letting it pass.
And the way that I think about this is pain is inevitable. We're going to have challenges, pain caused through business challenges, through relationship challenges, through the challenges of just living in neighborhoods or interacting with the world. Suffering happens when we remain attached to whatever emotional reactions we're having about the situation or circumstances we find ourselves.
