Beauty in suffering from "summary" of On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong
The beauty in suffering is not a thing we learn, but a thing we unlearn. It is the practice of seeing through the pain to find the light. In a world that often celebrates only the bright and the happy, we are taught to avoid suffering at all costs. But what if suffering is not something to be avoided, but something to be embraced? What if it is in our moments of deepest pain that we find our greatest strength? Suffering, in all its forms, has a way of stripping us down to our most raw and vulnerable selves. It forces us to confront our deepest fears and insecurities, to face the darkness within us. And yet, it is in this darkness that we often find the most beauty. It is in our moments of greatest suffering that we are able to see the world with new eyes, to appreciate the beauty that exists even in the midst of pain. The beauty in suffering lies in its ability to push us beyond our limits, to challenge us to grow and evolve. It is through suffering that we are able to tap into a well of resilience and strength that we never knew we had. It is through suffering that we are able to connect with others on a deeper level, to truly empathize with their pain and struggle. To find beauty in suffering is not to glorify pain or to romanticize suffering. It is not to say that suffering is inherently good or desirable. Rather, it is to acknowledge that suffering is a part of the human experience, and that there is beauty to be found even in the darkest of moments. It is to recognize that through suffering, we are able to cultivate compassion, empathy, and a deeper appreciation for life itself.
