"私たちの痛みの原因を理解することは、癒しへの第一歩となり得ます"
— Gabor Mate
Simplified Meaning:
When we figure out why we feel hurt, it helps us start to feel better. Imagine you cut your finger while cooking. If you find out it happened because you were using a dull knife, you'll know to use a sharper knife next time. In the same way, emotional pain often comes from something specific, like a bad break-up or losing a job. If you understand what caused this pain—maybe a fear of being alone or feeling like a failure—you can begin to address those issues and start healing. Knowing where the pain comes from gives us the power to fix it and eventually feel good again. For example, talking to a friend or a therapist can help you see what's really bothering you and find ways to feel better.
