"With suffering it is the same as with precious stones, which shine more or less according to the setting in which we catch them; likewise, suffering embraces us as much as we let ourselves fall prey to it.

With suffering it is the same as with precious stones, which shine more or less according to the setting in which we catch them; likewise, suffering embraces us as much as we let ourselves fall prey to it.
"Romanian
"În privința suferinței, lucrurile stau la fel ca și cu pietrele prețioase, care strălucesc mai mult sau mai puțin în funcție de montura în care le prindem; la fel, suferința ne cuprinde atât cât ne lăsăm noi înșine pradă ei."
