Pain

"There is such a thing as emotional rubbish; it is produced in the factories of the mind. It consists of pain that has long since passed and is no longer useful. It consists of precautions that were important in the past, but that serve no purpose in the present."

"Doesn't it always boil down to pain?"

"Affliction equips the suffering to empathize with others in anguish and not only does it strengthen them, it enables them to be consoling comforters in a world full of hurt."

"Life is a battle of balance. Balance between attachment and detachment. Attach yourself enough, to feel the "Pain in others". Detach yourself enough, not to feel the "Paininflicted by others”."

"I do not just want you at your best. I almost do not carewhere your Happiness lives,but please,let me visit your pain?Take me to the placewhere your sadness goes,and show me the tragedythat no one knows."

"The more you hide, the higher the walls around you gets. The more you cry in silence, the thicker it becomes."

"Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say 'My tooth is aching' than to say 'My heart is broken'. Yet if the cause is accepted and faced, the conflict will strengthen and purify the character and in time the pain will usually pass. Sometimes, however, it persists and the effect is devastating; if the cause is not faced or not recognised, it produces the dreary state of the chronic neurotic. But some by heroism overcome even chronic mental pain. They often produce brilliant work and strengthen, harden, and sharpen their characters till they become like tempered steel."

"It is weird to see how people sometimes doesn't value and ignore the love and effort of the people who love them and try to stay. They push them away only to realise everything they did after they leave and make their memories as pillows to sleep over and cry upon it later."

"Every time you try and fail,Every time your hope gets stuck in the deeps,And you wonder just how you'd get through the sail-Don't forget that underneath your pain,Is an anchor of great strength and fortitude Keep digging until you find it... And when you do,RISE!"

"The past does not define me, it ignites me. The past is not a piece of me, it has placed me"

"I wanted to peel myself off of me."

"Sitting on my bed with all these things I used to love but not loving them anymore, I just wanted to set them on fire. That's when I knew I was never going to be all right again."

"No parent should have to bury their child."

"...-the two look at each other - one full of guilt - other full of pain - both full of unhappiness."

"There is no doubt that the most effective way to heal my pain is to purposefully put it to work healing the pain in the life of another. But that means I must endure the pain of not focusing on 'my' pain."

"Pain is awesome I like it, to see myself scared is awesome to see how people get killed just makes me happy."

"I think I realized intellectually at that point, watching the city slowly give way to the last vestiges of parkland and then the black spruce forests of the North, that I could come back to the land deeply fearful, or I could choose to see it as a place of healing. Pain colours us; we carry it behind our eyes for a long time after it’s passed. At some point, we have to decide whether we’re willing to let it take over our lives and change them permanently, or whether we’re going to wrench ourselves open again to the world. I couldn’t make that choice in the city."

"Fire is easy to work with if you keep your mind clear, but pain . . . pain fights back. Pain is alive. Pain is the enemy."

".."I let people walk away, the one who loved me, the one who cares for me, I push them to their limits but the saddest part is... I felt nothing, too much pain makes me numb.."

"Your pain is trying to tell you something. It is not an accident, a curse, or an inconvenience. Pain is a form of self-communication."
