This can be a bit tricky to describe and might seem absolutely non-sensible, so please bear with me for a moment. I believe in categorizing life and things that fill-up my wife to manage life. This includes Pain, anxiety and grief too. I vouch for pain often being an integral part of helping us live better. I call this subtle pain and though it might seem just a memory to some of you, it plays a very active role in moderating our decisions and behavior. For instance, the subtle pain you experience every time you start a new gymming regimen reminds you that all those times you stopped, to restart again, meant that you would have to go through the initial, conditioning soreness. If you had sustained the regimen, things would have been less sufferable. There is also borrowed pain. This is a sense of grief or sadness that you feel for someone, someone who is actually suffering, even grieving. This discomforting feeling of suffering the same also makes you realize that thankfully, an event so horrible hasn’t happened in your life. Pain can be your watertight coach, the infallible reminder, your constant friend as you move ahead in life, making you suffer just a bit but rewarding you with sub-conscious and conscious coping-up tools and gains that can last a lifetime…
