Earlier this week I posted the lyrics to "Cure for Pain" by Morphine. What if there was a cure for pain? What if there was a pill you could swallow to stop the pain any time someone had their heart broken or had to deal with the loss of a loved one ?
I'm sure the next time I'm hurting I would wish there was such a pill. But I don't think it would help me grow or experience the mysterious learning opportunity life hides in the shadows from us.
It is in the moments of most intense pain that I have the most productive introspection. When I am happy or content I seldom feel a need to analyze a situation or experience. It is typically when I am upset, angry, disappointed or depressed that I really delve into that which is bringing on the aforementioned emotions. And by doing so I typically learn a valuable lesson. Having said that, I have had my heart broken a dozen times and I fully expect to have it broken a dozen more. And that never gets easier just because it has happened to me before. But, as I spoke earlier about the illogical aspect of emotions, analyzing any previous experience usually helps lend some logic to the situation that is bringing on the heartache. And so although it doesn't lesson the pain, it helps to lesson the helplessness involved.
No, I don't think I want a cure for pain. I think I'll take my chances.
Side note - I just knocked on wood after writing that last sentence.

The pain brings benefits to us...we can learn a lot. I agree with you, I don't want the cure of the pain but should be good to get a change of the pill relieve and sometimes I think also that should be great if I could buy pounds and pounds of patience and some of other virtues that I don't carry on me and would make my life easier!!!!
