I can't explain why one wants to pass a particular sort of pain onto other people, but you do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Some pain is simply the normal grief of human existence. That is pain that I try to make room for. I honor my grief.
Pain is something that's common to human life. When we ignore it, we aren't engaging in the whole reality, and the pain begins to fester.
When you know what pain is, and when you have to make a choice, you learn that it is a decision. People think it's a fairytale thing, love and happiness, but you have to work hard. And then - you feel it deeply.
I hate this idea that there are some people who have a right to express their suffering and others who don't, that there are those in this hierarchy of pain who own it more than you do.
Some people take certain things and they try to forget what that pain felt like. I don't. I take that same pain and I chase it every time I walk in a weight room.
I'm very, very sensitive to pain and to people who suffer.
Pain is pain, joy is joy - you can't avoid bringing pieces of yourself into a role.
I hate pain, despite my ability to tolerate it beyond all known parameters, which is not necessarily a good thing.
No one wants pain. Not even long-time, mature Christians who want to grow. We will always find ways to avoid pain. Pain itself is a bad thing.
Pain is an event. It happens to you, and you deal with it in whatever way you can.
