Inevitable/Optional

There's a quote that says, "Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional."

Is that true?

I don't know.

My sinuses hurt like a mother.  The kind of pain where you think you could pull out a few teeth and you'd be all set.

And it feels like the start of a cold, but probably isn't.  Or might be.

And I'm furious with some of the nonsense that's going down at work, and all anyone wants to do is talk about it.

Words, words, words - I'm so sick of words...
