If suffering is certain, let's suffer together

‘Suffering is a given; suffering alone is intolerable’ ; This has such a deep meaning. I read it in a book and resonated with it so much because at many points in our lives we have faced loneliness in some way or the other. Everyone has their own scale of pain of different kinds, but every pain is easier when it is not faced alone. Every journey is easier when you have a companion, the right one. Therefore, build your circle not just on the basis of being driven and productive, or for fancy materialistic attributes, or just for fun. Build it with those who are there for you during the good and the bad.
