The Wonders of Pain

 

Pain -- a heavy word that we all wish we don't have to feel, an uncomfortable and unpleasant sensation that trembles us physically and mentally. Every person, at least once in their lives, has already experienced different kinds of pain, and no one is exempted from feeling this sensation. I can still remember the popular line from one of my favorite movies, The Fault in Our Stars, which says "pain demands to be felt." It is an inevitable feeling that none of us can avoid, because this sensation is meant to be part of our lives.

But for me, pain is a wonderful sensation. Pain is a feeling that helps us determine what is right and wrong for us. Experiencing this will allow us to identify the things that we are not supposed to do in the future, because avoiding pain is one of people's natures. Pain is something that helps us recognize the pleasures of life. It is something that would give us the feeling of freedom once we already know how to let go of a certain type of pain. It allows us to appreciate the blessings that we have. Pain, when embraced, gives us a lot of life lessons that we should always remember as we continue our journey called life. 

Pain also helps us connect to the world. It allows us to communicate with understanding and empathy, especially with those people who are experiencing the type of pain that we have already experienced before. Pain allows us to formulate the best advices that can boost the positive emotions of other people and help them let go of their negative thoughts.

Pain is a great contributing factor to someone's success because it is what makes people stronger and wiser in making life decisions. It makes us tougher, and it gives us the courage and the feeling of readiness to face any challenge or consequence that we may encounter. It makes our persistency level higher, and we don't just give up when something gets difficult.

Most importantly, pain is a storm that makes us realize who are true to us, because when we experience pain, there are people who are close to us who are going to abandon us, and it's okay. It just means that they are really not meant to be in our lives, and they once became part of it because they are meant to teach us a lesson. But hey, don't worry, not everyone is going to leave your side. There are still people who are going to remain in our lives even when we are experiencing difficulties, and those are the people that we need to cherish.

It is wonderful how unpleasant feelings can give us positive learnings, and how pain gives people the opportunity to have a clearer path in their lives. This is a reminder that it's okay to feel pain, because you are not alone and every person in this world that we are living in has already felt it. Just remember --- never drown yourself in pain. Have the courage to brace through the storms of life and learn how to flow with it, because it’s true that rainbows come after every pain.
