A Message About Pain

A message about pain

The most predominant aspect of any human being, that makes us into who we are, is the emotions that we experience. Many would say that sorrow or fear or peace or joy, are the main emotions, but I believe that all emotions stem from one base feeling, pain. Pain causes us to be sad and to feel fear, but the non negative emotions can only come when the lack of pain is noted. This notation usually is subconscious, but the fact that when we are joyful or at peace it is because we know that pain is not intruding on our current lives. But, without pain there would be no learning of pain. Such as,not getting to close to fire, or falling down when we try to walk. Pain teaches us to adapt, but even some things we cannot adapt too completely. Now there are two kinds of pain physical pain and emotional pain. Physical pain we can learn from and eventually dull or nullify, but emotional pain can never be nullified. I would even go so far as to say that it cannot even really be dulled. Even if we try to mask the pain we feel or even lie to ourselves that there is no pain, that pain comes and haunts us when the night is old and when weare alone. Emotional pain comes from something someone said or losing a friend or even feeling alone. All three of these I have experienced and for all three I have felt there trappings come back again and again, but that does not mean that I should sink into myself, and believe that no one can or would love me, or that any one that would will only leave again. For a while I tried to suppress these feelings but I soon learned that all that does is to prolong the experience. Once I actually understood and expressed my feelings, I could learn and grow. And let go of the feelings of lose and loneliness. The end is the only time in which we can lose all of the caught emotions and held-in feelings that we have had for our entire lives. The end is the point when we can forever join past friends and enjoy the ultimate friend....
