The main affliction of our modern civilisation is that we don’t know how to handle the suffering inside us and we try to cover it up with all kinds of consumption. Retailers peddle a plethora of devices to help us cover up the suffering inside. But unless and until we’re able to face our suffering, we can’t be present and available to life, and happiness will continue to elude us. – Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathannhquotecollective #thay #thaysaid #thichnhathanhquotecollective #thichnhathanh #life #happiness #thichnhathanh #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes
