I think you may be writing about "suffering?"
We all want to avoid suffering.
Some teachings say we can be in pain -- physical and/or emotional -- yet, learn how to not suffer. We can transcend suffering? It's quite a challenge and I work at this. Sometimes, I can overcome suffering; sometimes, I cannot.
"..the sorrow that has no vent in tears makes other organs weep."
Yes, when we suppress our emotions -- like sadness and grief -- we may find the emotions are expressed in other ways within our body... we may experience physical manifestations.
I think withholding the expression of emotions also may cause/magnify suffering. Deep suffering may be defused, at least somewhat, via the relief we feel from expressing our emotions. We are then freed and not held captive by emotions.
Okay, I am rambling now. I will stop.
Love to All!
