Hurt

Gautama Buddha and the Dalai Lama both emphasize inner peace and compassion as defenses against hurt, suggesting that self-awareness can prevent harm to others and oneself. Contrastingly, C. S. Lewis highlights the impact of both words and silence, while Eleanor Roosevelt and Paulo Coelho focus on betrayal and the complex dynamics of relationships. Benjamin Franklin and Rumi find value in pain as a source of instruction or blessing, indicating a more transformative view of suffering.
