"A veces, la paz requiere abrazar la incomodidad"

Alain de Botton

Simplified Meaning:

Finding peace can sometimes mean facing things that make us feel uneasy or uncomfortable. For example, imagine there's a person who always avoids talking about their problems with their friend because they fear an argument. This avoidance might make things seem calm on the surface, but the issues never really get resolved, and they keep feeling unhappy inside. Now, if this person decides to have an honest conversation about their feelings, it might be awkward and tense at first. However, by dealing with the discomfort, they can clear up misunderstandings and build a stronger, more truthful friendship. Just like cleaning out a messy room requires messing it up even more before it gets better, true peace often comes after we've dealt with the tough stuff. So, in life, when we want real peace, we sometimes have to be brave and face things we would rather ignore or avoid. In the end, it's that willingness to feel a bit uncomfortable now that brings lasting calm and happiness.
