I know she is in a better place. But for the first time in my life im truly scared. I feel so alone even though i shouldnt. I know jesus died on the cross for are sins. But even at my age. I want my mommy back. I now miss those little things like her hugs, the kiss on my side of my face. Her telling me right from wrong. It seems all i can do is sit and cry. If your mother is living. Tell her every chance you get that you love her and give lots of hugs. I lost my mother on Oct.2,2011 and its been the hardest time in my life. I know she is in a better place.

You think you have figured out pain and pleasure etc.. There is no rational reason for pain. But there is a cause for every pain. And this cause has nothing to do with any grandiose purpose of alerting you to lead a noble life etc.. But yes, it's up to you to alter your attitude towards the pain and thereby ascend to sublime and more skillful ways of accepting the pain. The pain by itself has no ulterior motives intended for you to learn. It's just the effect of a certain cause that you set in motion perhaps sometime in the distant past. Now it's again up to you to deal with it but this time you should not REACT to it , with aversion etc..(which will become the cause of another round of future effect). So when you don't react to it this time and instead face it squarely and wholly, completely, totally, with complete acceptance, acknowledging it but not swayed by it's effects, witnessing it objectively, in choice less awareness, equanimously, with balance and composure knowing fully well, that 'this too will pass' , everything is impermanent and in a state of flux and the only constant is change. But don't be impatient for it to pass. Let it pass now , in 2 seconds or in 2 Yugas (aeons), be with a heroic attitude. be patient and enjoy watching it. learn from it. embrace it. accept it. be one with it. since it is your present. And it is all there is now... be whole. In the whole being, there is equal room for both high reason and pure madness. It's all strewn together, sometimes orderly and sometimes messy. It's all the same.. so dance away and enjoy and observe and witness this drama that is being played out...don't be indifferent and don't wish you would rather not be playing THIS game but some other fantasy game but rather identify completely with the real game that is played out RIGHT NOW (however much aversion though it might seem at first). Stay inside the ring and be a participant in the play, the play of the madmen.. For in here, only the mad are wise and everyone else is sane mad... to the author,

There reaches a point where pain stops being an action signal & actually takes away your ability to act. yes, I have to agree with kristy on this one, although I applaud your efforts at cultivating gratitude for useful pain, not all pain is useful.
