muserevivalThere are people that will tell you that if you don't experience pain then you aren't living your life to the fullest. These same people will lecture you about how you should be living your life. They will tell you all about life and pain and how the two are unavoidably intertwined.
I think these people are full of crap.
They don't like how their own lives turned out so they want to discourage everyone around them. They want everyone to be just as miserable as they are.
My mom taught me that a very long time ago.
I think that it's true that you can expect some pain to happen in your life. If you get lucky enough not to, that doesn't mean anything is wrong with the way you are living.
Pain has been a very real part of my life, but I like to think that I am the exception and not the rule. Not many people have or will ever see the things that I have seen. Fewer still have lived the things that I have lived through. I wouldn't want anyone to have to live through the things that my friends and I have in the last few years. No one deserves that kind of pain.
Well, I would have wished it on Tess, but were were all out-voted on that one. Of course, then she went out as a semi-heroine by blowing up herself and an entire military base to save her son. Liz may believe it, but I have my doubts on Tess' actual reasons for that one.
Anyway.
We're currently in a motel where we're supposed to be sleeping and resting up for more travel tomorrow. Everyone else is sleeping, but I'm awake pondering the marriage of life and pain. Not exactly a topic that is conducive to sweet dreams.
The bottom line in my mind is that life and pain to not have to be all inclusive. Life isn't about measuring the pain you have endured, but in celebrating the living you have done.
That's my belief, anyway.
