The Two Darts

The two darts is a Buddhist concept that describes how pain is inevitable but suffering is optional.The first dart is the unavoidable pain of life, both physically and emotionally. This is unavoidable and we will all experience it.The second dart is the suffering that we add by the way we frame the pain we are experiencing. This part is optional.Often we throw second darts when first darts haven't even been thrown.Take control of your second darts and watch your life improve.
