Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Ways To Endure Painful Emotions

By Johnny K. Peterson


We all live and consider ourselves as humans because we have emotions. Our actions are most of the time based on how we feel and how we connect with other people using our emotions. Sometimes, it may end up being a hurtful experience for us and some would rather move away from that experience while others head full on to conquer that painful emotion. Each and every person is different so there are also different ways for people to deal with the pain.

Feeling emotional pain is normal for a human being. Everyday, we feel the bout of pain that a person has done to us and yet we are still alive. People experience and perceive pain in different ways. An experience that is painful for you might not be painful for others.

Do not try to fool yourself that you are not in pain. Denying the feelings of pain is like denying that you are human. Denying your own feelings of sadness and regret will only make it harder to come by. It will only resurface once you are given a hint on your painful experience.

Identify the feelings of pain and other emotions. Are you in an emotional pain because you have broken up with someone or are you feeling sad because someone close to you have recently passed away? Recognize these feelings and appreciate it.

Painful emotions cannot be cured and what you cannot cure, you will have to endure. There is no cure for emotional pain, only time. And the only way to do it is to endure the pain that someone has caused you and you will learn to live with it.

There are times when you cannot handle the pain. You feel like the world is crumbling before your eyes and there is no one in sight. If you can, search for a friend and talk to your friend. You will see that life is easier when you have someone to talk freely about your pain.

Stay away from blaming others or yourself from the pain you are feeling. Blaming will only makes matters worse and in fact, it will cause more problems with your relationship towards others. No one should be blamed for your pain not even yourself.

Do not let the pain consume your entire being. Let it not dictate who you really are as a person because each and every person has the right to be happy. No one in this world would want to feel sad and alone all the time.
