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.
