Pain
is a result of emotions that we can't come to terms with.  If we did, we wouldn't suffer so much, as a result of the pain.  Over the years, I have found that I hurt less if I deal with the emotions, as and when they arise. It has helped me to suffer less. BUt, as others here have written before me, I have also learnt from the pain and siffering and am in a better place because of it.

Physical pain, compared to mental, is easiest cured it seems to me.
Interesting post.   Of course mental pain can sometimes be cured in a bat's eye.

My view is that pain and suffering are distinct.

Its possible to experience pain but not suffer, this depends on how artful we can live. And then, it just transforms into something closley resembling "reality" or aliveness.

My highest opinion on it though: in the new "age" there will be many ways to learn lessons, pain will not be the only one.

Without pain physical and the pain of mental anguish
I believe we'd wither and die. We need stress to grow to strive to feel. Boredom would kill us if we had all things perfect. nice post.

We all have experienced pain in our lives.  Some of us more than others.

I don't like talking about pain.....especially the emotional kind......I have experienced so much of that in my life, I think tooooooo much. .......God has blessed me with a great life, but I've had to endure so much pain since I can remember from the earliest age of my childhood.

So very true
pain to some degree is always part of our lives.

These Things You Say Are True
And this love is for always. When you truly love someone, they really never leave you as thay become part of your character. My Grandfatjer was a loved, and cherised man. He died 27 years ago but I think of him daily. i know his looks, his scent, and his personality to this day. There is certainly no love greater than that of a parent for their child. This is an automatic love that causes one to act without even thinking.
