Suffering Equation: Pain times Resistance
The equation proposed is suffering equals pain times resistance. If you experience pain without resisting it, your suffering remains at the level of the pain. However, if you add resistance by trying to make the pain go away or judging it negatively, your suffering multiplies. By accepting the pain, it remains as is, but resistance amplifies suffering significantly.
