Only with a profound psycho-spiritual awareness, with an ethical vision of life, can we face adversity and difficulty, without losing vitality, without losing our specificity. Only in this way do we become capable of suffering. In a society such as ours that teaches us to flee suffering and death, that chases after plastic surgery, easy money, organized lies, and sees the body as something to be consumed, my way thinking is kept distant by the powerful and  their courtesans, and I am forced to live on the margins of the dominant culture. But I don’t really care. It could not be otherwise. In all of my writings, published by the Paulines, I have tried to teach people not to fear suffering, but to interpret it, to give meaning to it. In the journey of life as I see it – a journey of meaning and sense – we need to know how  to enter into suffering and remain there long enough to be able to discover our true and profound personal identities.
