Pain

How do you define pain?

The physical manisfestation is so simple to handle - all you have to do is to take external help - a medicine here, a treatment there, a cauterization sometimes and if that doesn't help a surgery...and in the worst case scenario....an amputation.

But how does one handle pain that has no physical manisfestation - the pain of separation, of treachery, and of humiliation? I felt it acutely and it has left me stunned. There is no medication and no treatment for it. The only way out is amputation - and the worst pain one suffers is when one amputes a relationship.

But suffer I must because ampute I must. That is destiny......
