"Is freedom from suffering the end of pain, anger, and unpleasant emotion, replaced by everlasting bliss?

Sorry, but no.

That wouldn’t be very realistic or very human.

Suffering is not pain, but the avoidance of it.

Let me say that again: The definition of suffering is the avoidance of pain.

Pain demands attention, and when it is avoided, it repeats itself over and over again. Suffering is the experience of the same repeating pain.

Herein resides the grand paradox. In order to overcome suffering, you must experience your pain fully."
