THE TIMELESS REALITY OF PAINFUL EXPERIENCES
Pain is a discomforting blend of sensory and emotional responses linked to actual or potential harm to the body.
Suffering comes in many forms, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional, and pain is always present.
Life is unpredictable, and not everything will go as we wish.
Pain is an inevitable aspect of life, a physical indicator that something is amiss with our bodies.
Regrettably, experiencing pain, whether physical or emotional, is part of being human.
The toll of emotional and mental anguish can be profound, manifesting itself in physical suffering.
The most excruciating physical pain I have ever endured was from a severe toothache and a bout of quinsy.
Exp: Quinsy, or peritonsillar abscess, is a pus that develops in the throat's tissues close to a tonsil. You are plagued by relentless throat pain, rendering swallowing as impossible.
I may not know the pain of childbirth, but I have undergone medical procedures that have left my eyes rolling back in my head.
Despite enduring difficult emotions in my past, I would choose to bear them over the agony of losing my Beloved Father.
Putting in the effort and working hard to achieve your desired outcomes is essential.
The future is a mystery to all, but one certainty remains: death comes for us all.
Dealing with the loss of a loved one due to illness or the end of a relationship, we navigate through the stages of grief.
When someone passes away, they leave this world for good, and when a relationship ends, you lose them to another person.
The ache of losing someone never truly fades, but with time, you learn to navigate through it.
I think that certain physical discomforts can be more effectively controlled than mental and emotional distress.
I can still recall my Father’s words when he was battling cancer, telling me that ‘he would choose his physical pain over the mental anguish I carry in my mind.’
No one wants to witness their loved ones suffering.
A strict punishment may be deemed appropriate for people who intentionally hurt others.
Unexpectedly, words and actions have the power to pack a punch when you least anticipate it.
As a young adult, I used to struggle to keep track of the hurtful words and actions directed towards me. But I've learned to let them roll off me like water off a duck's back.
The ultimate way to cause me pain today is by bringing harm to my family. But rest assured, those responsible will soon understand the true meaning of suffering.
The toll of mental health suffering is exhausting and depleting.
I avoid being around others when I feel irritated, and my mood takes a nosedive. I am more focused on safeguarding them than myself.
Dealing with a mood disorder is the greatest challenge in my life today. It hinders my ability to form connections and build meaningful relationships with others.
My unpredictable nature influenced my decision to remain unmarried and childless.
I have experienced relationships but realised that involving someone in my confusion and uncertainty is unjust.
I am typically kind-hearted, but when provoked, I can become unrecognisable.
While I never intend to harm others in any way, there are moments when I find it difficult to control my behaviours.
I struggle to accept the compliments people give me, as there are often many positive things about how empathetic and passionate I am with people and my work.
I strive to present my best side to others, but unfortunately, my anger tends to surface. It usually takes me a few days to fully recover from the guilt I feel after my outbursts.
I always make it a point to address and resolve any issues the same day instead of allowing it to linger as resentment.
I will never be perfect, but I am dedicated to improving myself.
In everything, there must be a balance.
