“There is something terribly morbid in the modern sympathy with pain. One should sympathise with the colour, the beauty, the joy of life. The less said about life's sores the better” - Oscar Wilde
Sometimes, less is more. Today’s blog is about pain and will purposely keep it short.
There are moments in one’s life, where the meaning which we all seek becomes clearer. The question is dwarfed in comparison to the answer; however, one main part is how to be happy?
Happiness is elusive to many, and hard to maintain for the few, however, some masters out there all prescribe to one of many ethoses. With one being the understanding of what to do when the body, soul or heart is in pain.
Deep thought and an innocuous line from Eckhart Tolle, has brought this idea to life, and for me summed up where I have gone wrong all of these years.
In summary, pain is additive so much so it manifests itself to become a cannibal. A self ingesting being which engulfs the host’s body, mind and soul, the taste and frequency of the pain felt needs to attract more of the same to keep going, growing and overflowing.
There is hope with pain, as it can only feed on more pain, the fatty additives become addictive and we feel pain about feeding the pain. The good news is that there is some which is quite ingestible.
Pain can consume one’s body, but to alleviate, a dose of sudden ‘joy’ can break the symptoms dead.
‘Life is Difficult’ the author Scott Peck famous opening words were in his novel, a ‘Road less Travelled’ and this is one of the truths of life. However, I am trying to convey a break in the cycle. Sure life is difficult and everyone life is beset by pain on occasions, but these episodes are always broken by joy.
My point is to choose joy to enter your life, never feed the beast who brings your biggest nightmares to the fore.
So if your feel your pain can be solved by a large slice of chocolate cake, be aware that further pain is always felt by eating that cake. Pain begets pain, joy begets joy, evil begets evil and love begets love.

PS Can every this Friday, think about me, visualise me wearing a yellow t-shirt. My face book status will remind everyone.
