We manage suffering only to the extent we manage desire: overcome desire and overcome suffering as well.\u003cp\u003eBuddhism offers a time-tested, accessible method for overcoming suffering. Though some are interested in Buddhism as a philosophy or a religion, I am interested in it as a sufferer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs such, my purpose in writing is not to convert you to a new religion or to put down your old one. It is to help us deal with pain and live more fully.
