Why does our style of living become one of negation in relation to avoiding suffering?

Avoiding suffering only leads to a life of negation; true transformation comes from facing and understanding the suffering you carry within.

— Osho
According to Osho, when you try to avoid suffering, your whole life turns into a series of ‘no’s’—a negation—because escape becomes the strategy. But suffering isn’t in circumstances; it’s in the way you are. Wherever you run, you carry it. Only staying, facing, and understanding how you invited it brings transformation; otherwise avoidance repeats the same mistake.

Running from pain turns life into running away, but you carry the pain inside, so look at it and learn from it.
