BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN PAIN AND SUFFERING

I strongly empathize with people who have had unfortunate incidents in life and have had to endure pain but not so for those who choose to dis-empower themselves by suffering in the name of circumstances.  I feel led to provoke someone’s thought that suffering  only leads to the path of destruction, unfortunately many still choose to take that root, because they have not  been able to make a correlation between the two.

Pain is a natural course that cannot be changed but how you react to the situation determines whether you choose an empowering life or choose a negative perceptive that leads to suffering.   However difficult this may sound suffering is a choice.  My heart longs to reach out to people who have not been able to make the distinction between pain and suffering.  Pain is the result of an incident for example a tragic accident, natural disaster, the death of a loved one and physical abuse. The list can be endless, but how a person chooses to respond and react is the key distinction between pain and suffering.

Have I got the right to write about how people choose to respond or react when faced with circumstances that makes them feel they have lost control and have experienced emotional tragedy, injustice or hopelessness, I suppose the question of control is debatable.  I will suggest control is much more displayed when you know that you have a choice in how you respond or react to a situation.  It does sadden my heart when I see people choosing to go down the destructive root of anger, self-pity, frustration, blaming self and others, the society and whatever they choice to blamed rather than choosing to make a difference in their lives and others.  I am sure we have all heard of people who against all odds have decided to explode beyond the limitation of their conditions.  I believe that in whatever situation you find yourself, you owe it to yourself to choice life in abundance, i.e. a rich and fulfilling life.
