At some point in our lives, we may experience unbearable pain, so unbearable that we’d welcome death to end it all. Many had succumbed, and many more will give in, to this temptation.
Around two years into my law practice, I experienced physical pain that made me rethink my neat concept of the world. It started in the evening after I finished eating a pack of Cheerios. Thinking it was indigestion, I took some antacid and waited, but the pain got worse (the doctor later said it was acute chronic chole-something). By the time I got to the hospital at 2 in the morning, the pain was so intense I actually wanted to die (thank God, He didn’t listen). When pain is prolonged and getting more intense, like torture, death presents itself as a welcome ally. (Post transferred here.

Yeah..sometimes, we have to get through those ‘physical pains’ just for us to learn to appreciate what we have, and see what we are missing out.

Very true. Still, it’s not limited only to physical suffering. Someone suffering from emotional or mental stress better appreciates things that we ordinarily take for granted.

people really undergo different types of pain… but what’s important is… we get to realize and take the lessons out of that painful experience. and sometimes, experiencing pain makes us even stronger…
Life is BEAUTIFUL… no matter what!
