WHY PAIN?

Today the pain is back into my heart. I don’t know what’s going on in me but after some happy moments, well actually not that happy, the pain is back. It attacks with the strength level 50%, it means half than the pain that I’ve had before. With that amount of attacking power I still can take a deep breath, take steps and not crying (yes, I cried! Happy?). But still it hurts! Well, let’s move on now. Why do we have to feel pain? And why does it named ‘pain’? Why not ‘happy’ instead? After some thinking then I got some of the answer from ‘Dr. Bailey’ (she’s in Grey’s Anatomy, remember?). She said that: “Pain is there for a reason”. Then I started to think, what is the reason? And I came up with this: Pain existing to play its role as a threshold meter of our hearts. It’s kind of the same situation when we do surgery. When the patient feels the pain, that means alert. So when we feel pain we know when to say stop and let our hearts grief instead of letting it dead. When we have a dead heart it means we have lost our capability of loving. Pain is triggered by negative things such as betrayal. So, pain also act as a reminder, it reminds us of not doing the same negative things to other especially to the people we love. Sometimes pain also does its job as a tool to humble us. When we’re getting so very high and not reachable by others around us, pain will take us down back to the place of loving. And finally, I think pain is there to make us know how others feel. So we can have an unselfish heart and learn to let go.
Pain is inevitable, so I guess when the pain attacks, let’s not focus to the feeling but instead let’s focus to the heart. Why pain? I think it’s because it’s fast-acting.
Pain is there for a reason…
