The cure for pain is in the pain.
-Rumi
This quote from the Sufi Mystic Rumi, shines light on the fact that alleviating life's troubles is usually the result of accepting and transmuting pain. In my latest post I draw the correlation between this quote and The Hanged Man tarot card.

2/ 🧵
Going through life attempting to avoid pain or discomfort usually leads to more of the exact thing we are trying to escape. I'm not saying go out looking for pain, but having a better understanding of how to determine its purpose can help us internalize it so that it benefits us.
I've noticed that pain is a recurring theme in Rumi's works, usually highlighting its relationship to love. The two are inseparable - parts of a whole.

The Hanged Man tarot is a great representation of this quote and underlying principle. If you've done any "mystic" or "esoteric" study before you can see the symbolism.
