"人们很难放下自己的苦难，因为害怕未知，他们宁愿选择那些熟悉的苦难。"
— Thich Nhat Hanh

Simplified Meaning:
People often stick with their troubles or problems because they are afraid of what might happen if they try to change things. For example, someone might stay in a bad job because even though they are unhappy, they know what to expect every day. Leaving that job could mean facing new challenges or uncertainties, which can be scary. This means people sometimes choose to stay with what they know, even if it makes them unhappy, because it's more predictable than trying something new. However, recognizing this fear and taking small steps towards change can lead to a better, happier life. Trying new experiences or solutions might be uncomfortable at first, but can often lead to positive outcomes and relief from ongoing suffering.
