Jooker,

I have thought about this before. It's an interesting concept to think about.

You mentioned the worst physical pain bringing forth life (childbirth) and questioned whether one could endure their emotional pain for similar reasons...I think that's what you were trying to say.

What you speak of to me kind of symbolizes a spiritual re-birthing of ones self. One goes through trauma and is left with pain, confusion, and cognitive dissonance, yet the only way out...to be reborn into a being free from the pain, is to move through the pain.

I hope I am getting what you are saying. I like the way this sounds and I try and remind myself of this on my darkest days. It usually can help me get through and offers some hope and comfort.

I'd love to hear more on this if you have other thoughts...
