Why is living so painful?
Death is painless, but living is painful. This article will provide my thoughts on why.
When you die, your body stops functioning. And your thoughts, struggles, and pain disappears. But when you are living, you feel sharp pains from burning your hand on the oven, repressions of not exercising daily, and making poor decisions.
Why are we given this perception?
The pain you feel motivates you to prevent it, therefore you take actions to remove it. Then pain creeps up in another aspect, motivating you again to remove it, repeating this cycle throughout your life. Though without this pain, would you motivate your self from not taking an action?
Pain is used to motivate yourself to take action
What happens when pain creeps on slowly without your perception?
You become complacent with the pain, and slowly degrade your body and mind. In my opinion, this can be worst than cutting off your arm. Being complacent to pain causes you to ignore vital signs of wrong doing AND reduces your ability to make changes in your life until its too late.
Your time on earth is limit and if you value your time, it is a precious resource. A resource that allows you to overcome obstacles that were seemly impossible to attain. People have used their time and focus to accomplish small tasks where over time, it multiples to become an enormous achievement.
Conclusion
I encourage you to perceive pain and use the pain as a motivator to grow.
