FAQs

Q) Why do people hang on to their pains and sufferings as if they are treasures?

A: Because even though they say they do not want them, in fact they are quite comfortable holding on to them since they are known, recognised and give identity to the holder.

Most people have the fear of the unknown and therefore believe in the old saying, “A known devil is better than an unknown one.” Many of us psychologically enjoy the attention we get due to the suffering and pain we bear, and so hold on the problems and the identity they build for us.

We may even do this unconsciously. At times we may remain in the identity because we simply lack the courage and conviction needed to create positive change.

Sighs, exactly...
