The degree to which we can endure painful or unpleasurable feelings, directly determines how much joy or happiness we can tolerate. Fear of pain and fear of pleasure are just the two sides of one and the same coin - night can't exist without day, ying can't exist without yang. “Love, work and knowledge are the sources of our life, they should also determine it.” (Wilhelm Reich)

"Ego is a social institution with no physical reality. The ego is simply your symbol of yourself. Just as the word "water" is a noise that symbolizes a certain liquid without being it, so too the idea of ego symbolizes the role you play, who you are, but is not the same as your living organism."
