Pain (Apr. 24)

Lets face the reality that life is going to be full of pain, both physically and emotionally. A lot of who we are and our character is thus determined by how we handle pain. Do you become someone who needs to be catered to when you experience pain? Do you ignore pain and let it build up until you cannot handle it anymore and then let it burst out all at once? Or perhaps you are the person to experiences pain, reflects upon it, sees how you might change things for the future and then move on, never fogetting but never dwelling on the pain that you have experienced. Everyone is different in how they handle pain but not everyone is healthy in the way they deal with pain. There will be times when everyone strays from the healthy way to deal with pain and different kinds of pain affect people differently. Still if one is looking for a way to improve who they are as a person pain and the way that they handle it certainly should be a starting point. Pain is unavoidable and how you handle pain reflects your character. It honestly is that important.
