But pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world. --C.S. Lewis
There has been much tragedy in my life; at least half of it actually happened.-- Mark Twain
Strange how people who suffer together have stronger connections than those who are most content. –Bob Dylan
Deep unspeakable suffering may well be called a baptism, a regeneration, the initiation into a new state. -- George Eliot
My barn having burned to the ground, I can now see the moon.— Japanese poet Masahide
Pain is never permanent. --Teresa of Avila
In this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world. --Jesus Christ
Some believe there is a need to inflict pain on themselves and in that suffering is redemption and on the other hand there are some who believe speaking the Word of God is a tool to keep us from feeling or experiencing pain. We don't need to go out of our way to inflict self pain, there is enough already in this life. Last night it came to me, we don't need to be in denial about our pain, just overcome the pain.
