A perfect description of suffering.

" Suffering, as the aftermath of an unwelcome moral shock, aspires to change form: we hope to dispel it by making plans by seeking information; we want it to pass through its countless metamorphoses, for this requires less courage than keeping the suffering raw; we lie with our suffering as in a bed too narrow, too hard, and to cold."   Marcel Proust - The fugative. 

I must own,  I'm slowly slowly falling in love with Proust, my bedtime reading atm.

How well he says it! And so to therapy we go..... 'therapy' is therefore a means to assist one to change the form of ones suffering into something more bearable.
