“Pain is weakness leaving the body”

Spotted in OC, California

I once read that a good way of dealing with any pain is learning to live with it. That is true. Pain works and play on our fear. Fear of death, rejection, or loss.

When we are able to learn to deal and live with our pain, we overcome that fear and triumph over it. It is then that we are made stronger. Hence, there is so much wisdom in this t-shirt writing.

But how can I learn to live with pain? the answer is simple, just find it in you to accept the pain. Acceptance will nudge away the pain with gently gradualism.  Acceptance requires an effort, an effort to see ones self as a human being and not any of the things we pride ourselves in or identify ourselves with.

It is the identification that sustains the pain and not the pain itself. I can even say that the cause of the pain is neutral, it is our reaction that makes the difference.

Learn to live with your pain, it is only then, that the pain will leave.
