about pain...

pain...
it feels odd takin bout "pain" at the age of 18...[where all around u harp bout heart pain;)] but neverthless...
i feel pain is a strong emotion...verrry strong...it has cascading effects...leading to sorrow,ill feelings...feelings of revenge...feelings of being abandoned..feeling of being unwanted and the very famous[ Y me?????]
pain is mental n physical....n trust me mental anguish is loads more painful than physical anguish n suffering...

mother teresa once said," the biggest disease today is not tb or cancer...it is rather the feeling of been unwanted"!!!

so apt! wen i was hospitalised...half the days were spent cribbing..."y me?" "did i deserve...??"
but then...pain is not all that bad after all...pain taught me things which i l never learn frm books....
it has made me stronger..more tolerant..much more sympathetic n above all "empathetic"...

in our journey of discovering pain..we hav jst 2 options...crib along n keep weeping or challenging it...yes..challenging pain.."hey luk..u made a mistake u chose me to give trouble...!'sounds wierd rite? it helped me a lot...made me gear up more determinedly towards achieving my goals[ at that time the ultimate goal was battle my way to good health:)]
n now.....nothin seems impossible...no task seems tough...no longer does an injection look a weapon...that "pain" it changes u...ur outlook..
reading lance armstrong's autobiography "its not just about the bike.."[ a must read] changed my attitude towards pain n disease...
physical pain teaches loads of stuff...endurance..tolerance..how we take our bodies for granted..how each n every simple task becomes difficult once yr ill...
today i thank god....for givin me that "pain"....which made me tougher...got me closer to my family n frens...got me closer to my faith in the almighty and made me aware n feel the pain of millions in the world!
