Fear of suffering!

"My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky.

"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity."

From the book: The Alchemist.

Coelho, Paulo. The Alchemist. [San Francisco]: HarperSanFrancisco, 1993.
