Thoughts On Pain
by torgay2004@yahoo.ca

It's been said all before but worth mentioning again… Pain is a
reminder of life, of love, of want, of hope, of care, of the world
around us. It is with pain that we find the deepest of our emotions,
and the depth of our souls.

Whether the pain is physical or emotional or mental, it reminds us
that we are alive, that we feel, that we love and that we care. For
without these things there is no pain…there are only events; there
is no life, there is only existence.
