Pain
I do not delude myself thinking I am immune. I know pain is inevitable. Dealing with it is the challenge.
In life there are moments you fall down, you break a bone, you go under a knife, you cut yourself and yes you feel pain. The physical kind of pain. And there are illness chronic and painful. It drains one. Pain is inevitable.
And then there is the other pain – the emotional kind. When dreams die, when expectations fail to meet reality – the emotional pain. Again I do not know anyone immune to it. I know few people who know how to deal with it effectively. They find solace in other things – basically diverting their mind.
Can you channel physical pain to hide the emotional pain?
Pain – is it permanent?
Again some random thoughts dumped here

Just wrecks you painlessly – not sure about permanence. They say Time is the greatest healer – I think such deep pain can be pushed back but it never goes away. Subsequent Impact may not be as damaging but the emotional scars remain
