Pain Or Purpose?

So this week were talking pain and suffering. So fair warning, if youre going through a tough time right now, dont expect me to be uplifting here. Im just looking at the concept from a different angle. You know how the show works by now. At this point id be a little offended if you didnt. And speaking of offended, to be honest, isnt it just a little irritating when shows or people might I add, are just overly positive or optimistic all the time? Not saying theres anything wrong with positivity. You know some people are just destined to spread light, but sometimes you just really are not trying to hear that shit.

Because lets be real, sometimes things just suck, sometimes you just want to sit in that and always life just hurts like hell. I know you can relate ladies. It's like when you go to your man complaining about things that are going on with you and he hits you with solutions and realistic, rational courses of action. We do not want to hear that all the time. Like DM, I came here to vent. Let me be heated and delusional in peace. Okay? Then he confused and you even more mad. Yep. Dont make no sense does it? I thought the same thing, which is why im here with you now, trying to make some sense out of the nonsense. Okay, but the way I see it, pain and suffering and the emotions that come along with it pretty much come with the territory of being human. Its kind of like signing a death row contract if you can handle getting roughed up a bit and you dont want diddy dancing all in your videos, grab your pen and come on down.

No, but really, the abstract nature of pain and suffering is a profound and complex topic that simply can be overlooked. Mainly because it peers into the very core of the human experience. Why do we need pain? And if suffering is an inherent part of the human experience, can or should we ever truly attempt to eliminate it? Those answers aren't so cut and dry, right? These concepts are deeply ingrained in our very existence, yet their intangible and subjective nature constantly challenges our understanding. You see, pain and suffering, while often used interchangeably, are really two entirely distinct ideas.

Like we all know that pain typically refers to physical discomfort or emotional distress, and that physical pain is often associated with injury or illness. Yeah, I'm looking at y'all 30 and up crowd out there. Yes, y'all with the bad knees. How you back holding up today? Yeah, you know, it could be that sharp, immediate sensation or like that dull, chronic ache. I'm only 27, but I feel for y'all. Hang in there. Y'all go ahead and get comfy for the rest of this. But no matter how comfy you may get, though, no person of any age can really avoid emotional pain, the type that comes from loss, rejection, or trauma. And as we all know, both types of pain vary in intensity, duration, and individual experience, making it pretty subjective.
