Pain
What a small word with so much meaning.
A dictionary isn't much of a help to understand the meaning of pain…
Physical suffering or discomfort caused by injury or disease….
Feeling of suffering or discomfort in a particular part of the body…
Mental suffering or distress…
-
But if we had to make it easier to understand
I would say that there are two kinds of pain, no matter how you look at it…
Physical pain,
Bodily…
In person…
Is something that we can cure
Not always of course
But at least we can reduce it with painkillers
Still, there would be a lot of suffering
-
Mental pain,
Psychological…
Emotional…
Is something not to be wished for.
Maybe because it's not that easy to cure
And painkillers are no big use in this case
-
I don't know what is worst…
Physical pain…
Or mental pain…
You can in the end suffer much from both of them
You can still get scared for life by both of them
And both things can lead to each other
But one of the biggest differences between them is probably that it is not always the same thing that can cause the pain…
-
Some people would rather feel pain than nothing at all…
And then there are others who can't feel pain, since it's all they've ever felt…
Still, a book can't tell you what pain is
Or let you feel it
But of course I've already felt physical pain
Mental, psychological, whatever you call it, is something I don't know about…
And I'm not even sure if I want to learn about it either
Maybe because I already have suffered from it before,
Or that I'm terrified of it, since I've already seen what it can do to people…
Yet, I'm curious,
I can't help it
-
But to feel pain…
And to cause pain…
Are two different things
People would hate me if I did it
They wouldn't understand it anyway…
But looking at her while she is asleep, knowing that she is beside me in bed,
Makes me calm, happy and maybe even satisfied knowing that she won't leave
Imagining her not being there next to me,
For some reason, I don't like to see that happen,
Since there always comes a little sting in my chest
It hurts a little,
But is that what people would call emotional pain?
I don't know
-
To feel pain
Mental, psychological and emotional
Is different from
Physical, bodily and in person
I sigh and slowly close my eyes and whisper in the dark
"Why do we people have to be so nosy?"
First of all, sorry for the long update
And second, sorry about the crappy chapter, but I found it harder to write about pain than I thought, so this subject would probably come up again
Anyhow, the next chapter won't take as much time as this one did…
