Pain

Nothing is worse than that cursed word it self. To some, it's bad weather. To other's it's a broken heart. But what i notice is that they don't seem to know the true definition of pain. Yes, that stuff may hurt, but pain is something you feel deep down. Pain is something that doesn't just go away. Pain is something that lingures, it's something that's undescribable because no one had ever looked too deep into it except for the people that truly feel it. And yes that may seem sad, but when you think about it, pain isn't the worst thing in the world. Yes it's definitely up there, but at the same time pain also inspires people. Like me, I let pain inspire me to help other's so they don't have to feel what I feel. Though it may not be healthy, it makes a huge impact on my life to know that i get to help make someone else's life more enjoyable, cause that also makes me feel better. So pain, yeah it hurts, but maybe, just maybe sometimes, that hurt, that ache, that pain, isn't such a bad thing. It just depends on how YOU and only you, treat it and yourself.

    There is a lot of wisdom in your piece! One of my favorite books is "Five Things We Cannot Change," by psychologist David Richo. He lists "pain" as one of these givens of life. But he says that pain is of course not fun, but it has a purpose, which is to help us evolve.
