I Got Something To Say

Sometimes we go through pain to help lift another humans pain off their shoulder. And even though we helped take their pain away, it doesn't mean they will help take ours. And at times we are left with more pain than the pain we faced before we met that person/those people. This is not a blaming game where we should blame one another for each others pain. We just need to realise without pain we will not grow in strength.. we will not learn from our lessons, or mistakes.. pain doesn't always mean a mistake has been made.. but it's a pain after all, something that hurts emotionally or physically .. it is still pain and it still hurts..

Something I've been thinking about recently (I can't remember what started it) but you should do things for people because you are willing to do it for them. You can expect nothing in return, you can hope that they return the favour but not expect it.
I remember now what started me thinking about it; some of the local runners were suppose to lift-share to races, except it was always me driving, I decided to stop offering lifts anymore, I may as well not have the burden of having people depend on me if I'm getting nothing back. This is a shame as when I last did this 25 years ago we had a good group of guys who all took their turn.

I often wonder if another person exists who, like me, is capable of holding onto pain instead of always re-broadcasting it to others... if people don't learn to do that, how can life ever be anything else than the same pain being recycled over and over?

My point is, it's not about the persons pain being recycled onto someone else .. it's just us being a helping hand to help them go through the process of healing .. we can be their source of comfort and give them an ear .. I do not believe that we could ever take anyone's pain.. we deal with pain differently .. even if your pain and my pain are similar or the same .. we cannot say that we know exactly how we both feel .. because the way you deal with it and feel it would be different to the way I do .. so in my opinion the same pain cannot ever be 'recycled'. But I see your point :)
