“Sometimes
pain is the price of progress.”
A mother will always say
that the pain of childbirth is worth going through
to hold her baby, boy or girl.
This is the progress of mankind,
the human race.
“Pain”
can be many different things
and not always physical.
Every setback we have
which gives us pain
teaches us how to live.
We learn our strengths
and our weaknesses.
Remember,
every setback can be a ‘setup’ as a comeback
if we ‘choose’ it to be.
When we feel pain,
of any kind,
we are building up our resilience
and preparing us to ‘win’.
We learn to understand the world we live in,
shaping our character
towards showing empathy.
We learn valuable lessons
which equip us with skills
to help us on our journey in life.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
