I've been reading a book, The Noonday Demon. Read these lines last night:
There is a Russian expression: If you wake up feeling no pain, you know you're dead. While life is not only about pain, the experience of pain, which is particular in its intensity, is one of the surest signs of life force.
Pain (emotional, physical, psychological) is not pleasant, but you can't avoid it if you are alive. I'm just happy I'm alive, and grateful for each day.
