Pain carries so much negativity just hearing the word, however if one stops just for a second and appreciates their own, then it would mean so much more then what society associates it with. See pain can cause so much anger in us, but pain is actually progress, because you must suffer and order to accept what is to come.
In my own life, my pains and my struggles have made me stronger and on my bad days, its the pain from the past that's motivates me for the pain that is to come in the future. Had it not been for the pain i endured, I don't know if I would be the person that I'am today.
Have you ever heard of a narrative? Well, it's a story or part of a story that one must tell, and use descriptive words, one must paint a picture for the mind. See, we all have a narrative to tell, and we probably could paint a million pictures, but if we keep the canvas white then we have succumb to pain and our future will be dark and cloudy.
See me... I'm going to embrace my pain, so that when it comes again I'm ready for it and I know how to deal with it. A great peacher one told me, "trouble will come no matter what, it's just how you deal with that pain when it comes..."
