There are all kinds of pain and we can never be out of words to describe how something we cannot fully touch and see bring tears into our insides and give a full feeling on our throat that we feel like a weight is upon us. Every time we are in agony or think that we are, it almost always feels like it’s the most painful. It’s so undesirable that no one would dare wish for it. On the contrary, however distasteful the thought of being in pain is, its absence won’t make it better.
I’m not a sucker for pain but the thought of not feeling the
loss of someone because pain is nonexistent is unimaginable. Not being able to
wallow in your room after a tearful heartbreak would be more than pain itself.
Not to feel despair after taking a life or after a deeply emotional fight with
a dear friend would be more than one can take.
In reality, emotion sets us apart from all beings created
and whether we accept it or not, it is what drives us into becoming something
else than we already are. And even if emotion is not all good sorts of feeling,
the not so good ones are those that make us better, stronger and wiser. We do
not learn more from pain as against the feeling of happiness and elation but we
do discover as much from it – about ourselves, the people around us, of the
world and everything else that comes with life. So I guess the next time you don’t
feel so joyous, try looking past the pain and find goodness in it. It will be
difficult but if you find it, understand its reality, who knows how it may
change your view about pain.
