core核心畫面

Picture pain that does not stop and does not have an end in sight — a body that hurts week after week, or a grief someone carries around all day. Suffering is not a sharp moment of pain; it is the weight of it going on.

可以想成：痛不是一下子，而是停不下來，也看不到盡頭——身體一週接一週地痛，或是心裡的難過整天壓著。suffering 講的不是那一瞬間的刺痛，而是那份痛一直持續下去的重量。
