In Pain

Life is an often underrated experience. We frequently encounter pain—pain when we gain something and pain when we lose something. However, the pain of loss tends to be more profound. The joy that comes from achieving something can somewhat overshadow its associated pain.

Medicines can alleviate physical pain. Taking a painkiller provides temporary relief, allowing us to continue with our lives until the pain returns.

Emotional pain, on the other hand, can be much harder to overcome. Science often categorizes this type of pain as depression. While medication can offer temporary relief, the emotional pain can resurface once the effects of the drug wear off. To truly overcome emotional pain, we must cultivate emotional strength and develop the willpower to face it with a smile.

Numerous studies have been conducted on pain and the human experience.

Scientists have conducted extensive studies on pain and human nature. Research shows that a person's physical pain can be mitigated simply by thinking of a loved one. A classic example is a mother giving birth. Throughout labor, she constantly focuses on the baby she will soon hold. The joy of welcoming her child not only distracts her from the pain but also triggers the release of endorphins, natural painkillers in the body, which helps her endure the excruciating pain she experiences. Despite the sweat and agony, she perseveres. Isn't it remarkable how the love for a child can empower a mother?

Humans are inherently social beings. The following link discusses how people react in times of distress and joy, and explores the benefits these reactions have on our well-being.

Humans are inherently social beings. They can only survive when surrounded by humans. They need humans for comfort, joy, and interaction. This bond between humans is unbreakable. It has led us to believe in relationships, love, and care for one another. As a result, we have experienced a reduction in physical pain and a decrease in dependence on drugs and medications. This reassures us of the power of relationships in our lives.

In addition to making rockets and sending them into space, we should take pride in our ability to nurture our relationships with family and friends. This nurturing has helped alleviate our physical pain to some extent.
