Suffering is our best teacher because it
hangs onto us and keeps us in its grip
until we have learnt that particular
lesson. Only then does suffering let go. If
we haven’t learnt our lesson we can be
quite sure that the same lesson is going
to come again because life is nothing but
an adult education class If we don’t pass
in any of the subjects we just have to sit
the examination again. Whatever lesson
we have missed we will get it again. That
is why we find ourselves reacting to
similar situations in similar ways many
times.
