pain?

Pain. A fairly ambiguous word, I'd say. It carries different meanings to different people.

If pain was only physical, it can be medicated most of the time. But what if the pain is emotional? How is one to heal these invisible wounds which carry a far heavier consequence especially in the long term?

Scars that no one can see are most often the scars that influence our decisions from then on, be it consciously or unconsciously. We are all affected by emotional pain. It is extremely difficult to compartmentalise these whirlwind of emotions and at times, we are often at loss as to why some things happen.

We would of course like to believe that everything happens for a reason but sometimes it is just nice to know the reason sooner rather than later. We are, after all, only human and there is only so much patience one can have.

To be honest, I don't quite know where this discussion is heading. I am away from home and feeling slightly depressed. Maybe the distance will do me good. Maybe time will heal my wounds. Alas, my patience is wearing thin and I can't help but wonder what is His plan for me as I don't quite like the path I am on right now.

Yes, it is so very easy to say that we as individuals determine our own paths. God created us differently. Some people are stronger than others. I think I am far more physically strong than I am mentally. I am working on that. It is just frustrating that I have yet to see any results.
