Abstract

Pain, it stays, it is perceived in the mind and echoes in the body! But it stays. Pain experiences are considered and stimulated to differently by different people; it is used conceptually to define the subjective experience entitled to a particular human. It encompasses the beliefs, meanings and understandings lead by the society. Pain as is described by many has a definitional controversy; it is defined as a feeling, a symptom, a reaction, or may be an emotion. There seem to be different patterns in reacting to pain, depending on situations and circumstances. The major influence is that of culture. Mark Zborowski remarked how physical sensation of pain is often interpreted differently by members of different cultures. The following essay elaborately talks of how time plays its effortless and sometimes not so effortless spree on the emotions and suffering that one experiences. To concisely present the concept of pain, the main role of the below discussion is to deconstruct/ reconstruct the objectivity of pain, what about emotional pain and suffering can we conclude? to explore life’s varied losses in a manner…more about embracing than bracing against…? What if we trust that the dark nights of our souls are essential to our growth, that spiritual maturity cannot be attained without them? In this lifelong journey, we will carry emotional pain and suffering. This is a given. But carrying emotional pain and suffering can lead to transformation. And that is good news.
