People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.

Without Pain, bliss would have no meaning or value. And without hate, we wouldn't know to cherish love. That old saying that you "Can't have one without the other" (or was that just the intro song to a '90's tv show?)

Pain is not something you should protect. Instead, you should try to find the source of the pain and work on letting go of that pain. Once you do that, you will be a happier person. I know because I'm working on letting go of the pain from a past memory that is keeping me from getting close to others. You should stand up AGAINST pain. Don't let pain control you, instead you should be the controller. Be happy, Never give up, and Never give in.

Is there love that doesn't hurt?
