‘Pain’ not a drain
A touching story or a drama or a movie sometimes triggers
pain to such a heightened extent that we tend to forget ourselves and start
identifying ourselves with the characters of the act and feel distressed. Pain
as an emotion seems to be unique as compared its counterparts. It elicits a
response in brain though difficult to bear at the time of infliction compels
and drives into a mode of self-introspection.
On the other hand happiness, though contagious makes us feel
exhilarated and jubilant for awhile. A happy event will make our day pleasant.
There the crux of issue ends. We don’t bother to ponder about the reason behind
it, we simply enjoy those moments. That must the reason why we laugh out heart
fully at a funniest joke when we listen to it for the very first time. The next
time it would fail to bring any laughter. Instead we might simply feel better
and relaxed. I don’t mean to belittle the importance of happiness in life. No
one wants fritter away happiness because it is such a precious emotion and
ultimate pursuit of life is happiness. But very often we fail to realise the
worthiness of life until we haven’t endured pain and suffering. Though none of
us would like to invite pain into our lives, sometimes pain seems to be the way
forward.
We fondly cherish all the moments of happiness and treasure
them in our memories for a lifetime. But we dread to relive the events which
had left a trail of agony or sorrow. If we realise, we notice that the
incidents of severe anguish alone have given us the strength and courage to rebuild
and restructure our lives. If not for a failure, we wouldn’t have bothered to
stop for a while and understand life and its purpose. Pain alone helps us to
cultivate the right perspective towards life. We try to evolve and grow after
every suffering. It is like a double-edged knife, a man with a vision will
further enhance the beauty of life with good acts, while an evil soul might end
up being more treacherous.
" Man needs difficulties in life because they are necessary to
enjoy success"- Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam.
