I suspect that the purposeful avoidance of unpleasantness/suffering will ironically draw those things directly to me. And that to truly banish such concepts, one must stare them directly in the eye, neither seeking nor hiding from them, and delve into or sidestep them as needed. Then, their very definition will change from “unpleasantness” and “suffering” into simply: another thread in a Greater Tapestry.
