Quiroga - 193

 YOUR DEXTERITY

Let go of your pain and anguish, give your conscience time to experience another point of view, because that would make a difference, because suffering is an ordinary experience, no matter how much you value it, it will continue to be ordinary, as long as you summarily devalue what devalues you and throws you into the precipice of anguish, that would make a difference.

There is more abundant life beyond your suffering, which, of course, is crowned with reasons more powerful than tigers roaring in the darkness, but it turns out that these reasons that fuel your attachment to your pains and anguish were one day built by you, and you did it with such dexterity that now you can't get out of the maze you invented for yourself, but the hope lies in that, if you had the dexterity to build it, then you also have the dexterity to deconstruct it.

If there is any lesson that your suffering can teach you, it is to recognize the skill with which you constructed this narrative, and that this skill can be used in a completely different way.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, can be done in the name of having absolute control over life, because it will continue to be much greater than your individual presence. Try to surrender to the mystery of life without reservations.
