“Many friends (especially one recently, which greatly dissapointed the optimist in me) have said in casting their chips that life is harsh and hard – and that’s all it is.
I do not agree with this sentiment – no matter how “negativity” keeps plying at my resolve to be positive with its unarguably painful and disruptive experiences.
There seems to be a definite paradigm effect working diligently against many of us – but that doesn’t mean that we should give into it.
Yes, I suffer.
Constantly and frequently.
Pain and extreme discomfort take turns shuffling around and between places in my body’s psycho-physio-emotional ecology.
The pain last night in my neck was so bad, for example, I almost gave into just flat out frustrated crying.
And I’m not sure which is worse – the pain or the numbness? The disconnection throughout my joints and limbs that I clamber against.
If I’m not feeling intense pain somewhere in my head or body and/or that pressure causing such a red, inflamed haze, I am pushing hard against these other limitations – willing connections in harmony to grow again.”
