Some thoughts
Pain. This strong word can evoke many feeling from within if you really take your time to contemplate. Who can understand it more deeply, a solder whose arm was ripped off by an explosion or a mother whose child died in her arms? A defense mechanism that has been developed to protect its master can burn you alive. Physical pain can torture you, deprive of your sleep, drive you crazy and prohibit from living a relatively acceptable life. Despite common misconception that mental pain is easier to handle, in fact, it can tear your mind apart and turn you into a mindless puppet, a shell of a man without a soul.
For the past decades we’ve come up with numerous drugs that can, quite effectively, reduce the amount of your physical suffering to a bearable level, although we cannot say the same about mental one. Even more, the drugs that can help you reduce your mental pain play with your hormones levels and alter your inner self. It turns out that without that nasty part of you, that pain, it’s no longer you. You’re loosing yourself in attempts to cope.
Some say that life is a constant struggle and you’ve got to put up with it and walk fearlessly through each storm. Is it really so? I don’t know. All I know is that pain, whether it’s a mental or a physical one, is an inalienable part of everyones journey
