The Gift of Pain

As we were having lunch one hot noon the topic revolved about aches and pains. One of my colleague mused about a book she  had read recently. It was titled the Gift of Pain. As she discussed the contents it hit the nail on our heads. What if were not able to feel pain? We may think it to be blissful- yes temporarily it would. Imagine a painless labour and painless surgeries. But look at the cons of not having pain- emotional. mental and physical pain. we would become sociopaths/psychopaths. It would be so unnatural!

So pain and experiencing it is not bad at all. It reminds us that it is natural. It teaches us to be humane. It is a gift.
