Perhaps the greatest thing we can learn in human life is to take pain without ignoring it. Go through it, let it destroy what it can because the indestructible is what we're all after anyway. Don't deliberately inflict pain on yourself or anyone, but when pain comes, drop everything and give it full attention; afterwards, you'll see something clear.
I think avoiding personal pain results in the world suffering it at large.
It isn't easy, but the more we do it, the less troubling it becomes and the quicker the phases of pain pass, because we've learned to listen to what it's telling us.
