Pain Is Rather Good

we don't hear it often enough. but there is a certain kind of pain that is welcome..while not necessarily pleasant, somehow it evokes a feeling of being alive. Knowing that it exists is enough not to throw in the towel.. woe if we become numb..

You know what pain is?

It doesn't mean that you are doomed, nor should you feel sorry about your lot in life. It only means you care so much, that you have a heart that is involved and fully committed. That you are not simply going through the motions, that there really are emotions involved. That it is real.

And it doesn't go away, pain never leaves us alone like other emotions and experiences that are fleeting. A heart that is inured to the pain is a heart that never loves and perhaps will never know its meaning at all.. and that would be the most painful reality of all.

Probably not a bad thing at all..

Despite all the not-so-good things, there's still probably some light or consolation. To know that I am after all not inured to all the pain. Which only means that in due time the opposite of pain which is exhilaration and joy beyond compare can also be felt at any moment.

Also learned to treasure things and moments while you can, while you can still share them with people around you and especially with people who are dear to you.

Though one can't deny the certain sadness lingering for a while or perhaps lingering indefinitely. That is a bummer, most unfair but who says life is all about being fair?

When you can throw brickbats at destiny, challenge the fates with your gut and gumption, one must be prepared to endure whatever it is life throws back at you. The spirit must be kept alive in whatever form, and the mind that may at times falter & give in to 'unfounded' fears should be rein in by the heart and carefully assisted by the music it hears.

The beat goes on and again be thankful that it will never grow numb even if the pain is sometimes unbearable. Not a good thing-- that pain.. but probably not entirely bad at all..

'Let it be'- trite but true

re-learning that again from the old Beatles song, yes.. some things are simply better to just let on. Let it be becomes the primer for the year.. to get a glimpse of what's in store yet not exactly revealing it all lest it destroys all the excitement.

When faced with a rather mounting situation, it is best to just let things be.. and enjoy whatever happens.

In other words, let the universe guide your passion, your inclinations and just keep doing what's good and avoid hurting anyone least of all yourself.
