Think that there are many other things in this world which are even worse.

Why has the human being to pass through so much suffering in life?

There are so many problems everywhere, so many horrors… this is a crazy world, where nobody is happy. Everybody lives afraid, wishing that many things didn’t exist… You are not the only one.

Now, is there any meaning in life? Do you believe that the human being passes through so much pain without reason?

Perhaps all this suffering is necessary, so that we may be transformed, because we have to learn many things.

Pain is the best lesson, because we never forget it.

Without pain, we would never be sensitive. We would always be indifferent to other people’s suffering.

Everything is a lesson. If you want to find happiness and peace, you have to be a very good student. Nothing is easy here where we are. Accept this fact, and look for solutions.

I'm thinking of you tonight!! Know that I hear you and that you are not alone. It is horrible what you are feeling. I know that all to well from my own experiences, but I will be here with you for as long as you need...


Christinasponias ~ Although I do agree that pain can be a good teacher, I find something very invalidating in the sentence "Pain is the best lesson because we never forget it". I would have to disagree there. Everyone will experience pain, and how would one define joy if there was no pain. It is a dialectic...a balance. But for me, and for others....there is an overwhelming amount of pain. So much pain that I personally do not buy that I had to experience all the physical, sexual, and psychological abuse that I did in order to LEARN something either about myself, about the world, or about others. I think this is a load of bull. PLEASE...don't even go there.

The fact is....there is a lot of pain I have yet to be able to remember, yet at the same time, inside, I can't seem to forget. All this pain has taught me is how to hate myself, how to distrust the world, and how to hide myself from humanity. It's taught me that I am less than human...that I don't deserve to be respected. That I am just what they always said I was....NOTHING.

I don't believe that you meant to infer any negative towards anyone in your post. I think you meant well and I am not angry...just a bit disenchanted and tired of hearing others say that I am supposed to learn something from all this pain I've been living through. That's almost as good as telling us to just get over it.

No worries though...I mean no offense. I just couldn't keep that bottled up.

Take care!!

M. Scott Peck, M.D. said it so well in The Road Less Travelled. "Life is hard." I once asked a T why is simply living so difficult for people like us. And she said, "because it just is." I guess that's the best explanation I've ever been given.

I'm sorry you are suffering. Please hang in there, sweet one.

Mixed emotions - I'm so glad to hear from a friend, and sad that friend is in such distress.

Our care for you leaps over time and distance. If you can, visualize us here at PC - however you imagine us - standing with you whenever you're afraid and upset. We affirm you against all fears.

As a frog of little brain I'm not into the pain is a great teacher thing. However, if life were easy would we appreciate and cherish it for the gift it is.

I hope your pain eases soon.
