Pain is a Virtue

I believe in pain. It could either be emotional or physical or even both. We live in a world where someone is always in constant pain. Pain is unfair and yet we have to live through it.

If we could overcome pain, we become this super human being. But then sometimes, we let pain control our lives. Pain could also be the end to most of us.

There are people in the world being abused. This pain is not fair. They live with the thought of thinking they are in the wrong when maybe the person abusing them actually has the problem. But I also do believe in this pain because if you can overcome the situation, this in turn either makes you a strong person or likely to abuse another person you are in control of. Pain is a decision and a lifestyle. If you choose to become the bigger person and push through the pain then maybe you will turn out like Oprah, but if you decide to slip and fall, maybe you will turn out to be a criminal.

You know when you are working out and your muscles start to burn, and you have that feeling of just stopping because it hurts. Well people take it to the next limit and overcome the pain to show that they can keep going even when they want to give up. This pain is the best. When you can keep pushing yourself to do better then that is when you know you really tried your hardest. You may to think yourself, “Oh, I’ve tried all I can”, But no, you haven’t tried till you sweat and feel tears. I respect people who are academic learners and athletes, because they are always pushing themselves to take the extra mile or to get straight As. And when it comes down to if they give up, they cry a little bit and keep going.

In the end pain is something we all go through. We can either use it to our advantage or let it become a weakness. I believe I can always overcome the pain to make myself stronger. Pain, this I believe.
