Socrates on Suffering

Why do we suffer?

According to Socrates, suffering doesn’t come only from failing to get what we want.

We suffer when we don’t get what we want.
We suffer when we get what we don’t want.
And even when we get exactly what we wanted, we suffer because nothing lasts forever.

The real struggle is the mind itself. It longs for permanence in a world where change is inevitable.

More than 2,400 years later, his words remain just as relevant.
