Vivekananda's Quote of the Day

We do not or cannot see the painful parts in objects, we are charmed with only the pleasurable portion; and, thus grasping the pleasurable, we unwittingly draw in the painful.

From notes discovered among Swami Vivekananda's papers. He evidently intended  to write a book and jotted down these points for the work. Complete Works, 5:428.
