Any suggestions on how to make this sentence most succint? [on hold]












0














Can anyone offer any recommendations as to how to make the following sentence more succinct. Further, have I punctuate it correctly?



Having played an active role in his ongoing recovery, I have come to terms with several unavoidable truths, the essence of which is perhaps best encapsulated by an ancient Buddhist proverb: “pain is unavoidable; suffering is not.”



Thanks so much!

    Sorry dude this isn't a proofreading/writing advice site. That said, looks fine to me (it is wordy but that is a particular style. To capture exactly what is said there by a shorter sentence might well be impossible in a single shorter sentence.
