Living through Emotional Pain


Living through Emotional Pain

At some point we will encounter many painful situations, both physical and emotional. We have no way of preparing for the pain, as it always seems to blindside us at the worst times. What can we do to kill the pain that we experience in life? There’s no real cure. However, I have good news. Today we are going to learn tactics that will help us when dealing with the emotional pain we feel.


Emotional Pain

Emotional pain is the worst kind of pain. We have to understand that the first thing to think of is why we are in this pain. We must undo the pain. We can’t take away what happened to us, but at least we can try to draw some sort of positive outcome from the situation. What we need to do next is forget about what had caused us the pain. The third thing we must do is replace what we lost with something better and new.


1-Be positive

2-Forget

3-Replace



Do not attach some sort of forgiveness trait to the situation. Everyone has some sort of reason behind their actions. Because of this, there may be some sort of supporting cause that no one is inherently “evil” and instead there is only some sort of “demons of the mind” or mental issue. Is there anyone who is mentally perfect? I would say, beyond a shadow of doubt, no. Even our heroes, be them in fiction or real life, are tragically flawed. We need not worry about intention, either, as the person may of not been trying to cause you pain. So do not worry about forgiveness, as forgetting your woes is about the same.

We must understand the nature of emotional pain. Emotional pain becomes one or both of two things: mental trauma or mental issues. Trauma is a lot worse than mental issues: mental issues may include anything from addiction to isolation. Trauma can lead to actual mental illness, mental barriers, and even suicide. It’s important to note as we work towards our own mental well being that we should spot emotional pain in others. As we have discussed in previous posts, a little compassion goes a long ways.


So, we have learned that emotional pain is both unavoidable and normal for a person. Of course, those who achieve enlightenment are said to not suffer. I fully believe this, but a person must throw the world away before they can be enlightened. Do you want to be a sage or a sorcerer? A sorcerer would be evil and suffer greatly, where a sage suffers none and sacrifices himself/herself. A wise person always can fly to higher places to stay free from the wars of this broken world. Peace is what lasts in our heart until the storms of this land ravage it. We cannot hope to avoid our pain forever unless you bring yourselves to higher grounds. Do not take the ideas of sagehood and enlightenment as a way in which hermits live, where a wise person always keeps what they love (humanity) close to them. Never abandon the people and always love them, and love them no matter what. We are free in heart and mind even if emotional pain tries to take that away from us. We are always bound by our emotions, which may mean we all really do have a soul. Rid yourself of emotional pain, for life is too short to live in the past. We are beautiful living, loving, and bleeding human beings. When we bleed from the heart it is almost as if it’s some divine act. Remember, the pain is unavoidable, yet there is many things we can think or do to make it disappear.
