I think my favorite and the most applicable to my life right now was #14: "Stop rejecting the potential to feel pain. Suffering is a universal constant for sentient beings. It is not unnatural to suffer. Being in a constant state of suffering is bad. But it is often hard to appreciate happiness when there’s nothing to compare it to. Rejecting the potential to suffer is unsustainable and unrealistic."
Gouge my eyes out. I thought life was supposed to be suffering-free. When I hear the word suffering, I think two things - Lauren Conrad's black tears and Kim Kardashian's ugly cry face. Neither of those sound particularly appealing. Oh well.
