"How you handle those 'bad' things (bad being a relative term) is what causes your suffering, not the bad thing itself. Even pain can be handled in a way that will keep you from suffering. It isn’t easy, but it can be done. Attaching to 'bad things,' trying to control them, or letting them control you - these are the attitudes that cause suffering."
