PAIN is a big part of life. Hence, I find concision of this article is an injustice for the people I write for.

But how is pain different from suffering? What about the pain because of the laws of nature like death? The question remains! Well my friend, pain is a realistic thing in life. However, suffering is a thing based on emotional aspect of humans. Suffering is emotional drama we tend to use to show the pain. I may seem rude, but it is true. Remember last time, when you were concentrating on your bruised elbow and how much it were hurting, but suddenly some important thing came up and you got busy working, felt no pain, but suddenly a thought came, “Hey I haven’t felt the pain lately” and again it started. And well my friend, you chose to attach to the person who died, so you made it a choice to be part of the pain and happiness related to them.
First thing in dealing with pain, is accepting that it is there, without questioning its presence with questions like, ‘Why me? What is wrong with me, that I am always punished?’ Just understand it is a law of nature. Pain and happiness both have 50-50 probability, like head and tail, when the coin was flipped by Lord, Nature or Supreme Being or fate, this time pain came to you, instead of happiness, like the head or tail.
The irony of our being is, ‘We don’t pursue to be in pain, but pain comes on its own. We pursue happiness, but it never seems to come easily. We often forget that whether happiness or pain, both come at when they are supposed to come. If nature’s law is giving you pain, don’t get sad, it will also give you, your share of happiness. If someday, a gazelle is chased down by a tiger, some other day the gazelles will win instead of tiger. The thing that makes happy moments ending in a jiffy while painful moments taking time to end is that we hold on to pain but we don’t hold on to happiness.’
If you don’t take efforts to be in pain, why take efforts to be in happiness. Both will come when they should
