Pain is a pain is a pain

Disclaimer: I don't know who stops by any more, but I'm sure it's not to hear me go on and on about health issues (I'm sick of it myself, actually). The past two days have been tough. I haven't written much lately because I'm a bit lost for words.

Pain is, unfortunately, a valuable part of life. It alerts us when something is wrong. It helps us to know when there is something we need to fix before it gets worse, before the price we have to pay is too much. It still doesn't make the pain any less painless.

There are many different types of pain - physical, as in the case of a broken bone; emotional, as in the case of a broken heart; spiritual, as in the case of a broken faith.

Pain can serve as a motivator. Imagine if you did not feel the heat of an impending burn and did not let go of a hot pan in time.

Oh bother, all that nonsense above just so I could include this link: Swearing serves a purpose - see honey, I told you. I'm thinking I may have to resort to a more colorful vocabulary. What? It's for medicinal purposes.

The truth is Pain is a pain. The End.
