Pain

Pain... It's almost funny how we work our way through life trying so hard to avoid it, we play it safe, we do it by the book, we follow the rules, we numb our instincts, we do what 'they' say, we make plan Bs, Cs and Ds in foolish attempts to lead a pain-free life (if such a thing exists), but when one comes to think of all the effort and pain we endure trying to avoid Pain, one couldn't help but wonder.. is Pain really all that bad or that avoidable for that matter?


More often than not we miss out on 'Life' to avoid Pain; When Pain is one of the magical ingredients of life and its there for a reason; And when Pain happens we just hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals leaving no scars to remind us of it, we ride it out and pretend it never happened, hoping against all logic we've seen the last of it.


The thing is.. there are no anti-pain magic spells, no easy quick-fix formulas, or even a need to be so scared of Pain in the first place; We just have to breath deep and wait for it to subside making damn sure that when it does we've learned something from it.

Pain.. It reminds us that we are still made of flesh, blood, angel tears and a child's laughter...thats why I think Pain can be much needed at different points along the way.

At points when we make a habit of over-looking the simple blessings in our lives, blessings we only value when lost.

At points when we waste our days rejecting and building opinions of others.. opinions so high so thick it entraps us and sometimes even collapses on us.

At times when our love becomes conditional and we lie good enough to ourselves to think that its not; At times when we let ourselves fall so deeply in love with those we know we can never have, and out of love with the ones whose true love we can and should have.

At times when we tend to forget the reason why we are here or tend to forget to start searching for one.


Pain is good

Pain is what we deserve..for being so ridiculously human.
