Yes! God didn't design a world to grind us down like this. The fabled ideal of challenges catapulting us into strenght....is only a fable. People with brains can learn anything, even strength! A nice ride into the depths of misery!

Oh sweetie... you have such a way with words... pain is something most of us are familiar with... sometimes it comes from others...sometimes we inflict it on ourselves without realizing it. I hope you feel better and whatever is causing this pain you so eloquently speak off, dissapears and leaves you alone. Take care of you

You painted a vivid picture of someone in their moment of suffering, but with the hope that comes from knowing there is always the ability to live through and survive profound pain. We just have to hang in there and await the new dawn. A poignant read.

And too much pain...
...can do more harm than good. It's a tightrope we walk between pain and sanity.

Good point, Purple_Mermaid. Too much ease will make us lose our edge, forget to be watchful, cause us to be ungrateful and take blessings for granted.
