Pain

Pain.  This seems to be another interesting topic.  In my mind, pain is something to be felt in different situations for there are many types and versions of pain.  Therefore there is no real definition in my opinion.  To me, in a general situation, I feel that pain is a stress of the heart to where it becomes mentally wounding to think.  Life is full of pain and hurt.  It is only normal to live that way but why must we?  As human beings, we have control over how we act but do we truly have control over how we feel?  Most of the time yes but when it can come to love or anger, we have no control.

Most people think that pain makes you stronger.  In my mind, it really doesn't.  I only does worse for you.  It puts mental stress and leaves painful mental scars that may never heal.  It can lead to major problems and some people may end up still struggling again some pain that they acquired when they were younger, physically or mentally.  I have had my fare share of pain, mentally and physically but why does the universe continue to pitch us more of it?  Shouldn't there be a limit to every person on how much pain they have to go through in their short life?  That sounds like Karma but there is no real concrete system to it.  Karma only states that if you do good, good will become of you but there are many good people that have had horrible things happen and more continues to. Lots of people have regret and remorse but doesn't pain feel that way too if it were a living being?  Wouldn't there be some sort of internal pain of wrong doing?

There are many ways of relieving one's mental pain.  Although, if one cannot, they just increase another's.  Pain can be self inflicted, gradually inflicted, or inflicted by others.  The worst pain is all of those combined into one major life questioning era known as depression.  Next week I may be writing more on depression but now, how does pain always lead to that?  There is not really one way for one to become depressed.  Pain certainly does that to a person but can't it be forced upon their shoulders by another?  Another can forcefully or mentally inflict depression on another due to their inability to manage it themselves.  Thus is truly sad because of how many more people would fall victim to sadness ans therefore pain.

Many people think of pain as being a bad thing but now it can be a good think as well as bad.  I do want to focus on the good of things.  Pain is essential after someone comes out of grief.  In the process of grief, one must go through many stages, including pain.  Once grief has been overcome, the pain has gone away and one may move on.

This is my definition of pain and what may become of it when it effects you.  Next post I shall be writing about the world of lies and what types of masks we wear.

What is beauty?

What defines beauty and how does that effect one's view on love?

That seems to be quite a puzzling question now.  Love is a powerful thing.  It has driven a lot of history and problems.  Love seems to be a very difficult topic to write on because it is a personal experience to everyone.  Love is an emotion and emotions cannot be expressed well with words.  First, I'll start with what is love.  In my opinion, love is a feeling of a good chemical relationship with another person through looks or personality.  Love specifically is the feeling of belonging with the person you desire to be with.  Love is not really desire, it is just made of up it.

Beauty is even harder because the words doesn't really explain the meaning.  The dictionary is even vaguer but again, the words connects with an opinion or feelings almost.  If I could rewrite the dictionary's definition, I would write this:
"Beauty is the feeling of attraction to the physical form of a living thing of ones own species."
I guess that pretty much summarises what is beauty and love but more importantly, how are they connected?

Beauty is needed to find love but I seem to disagree with that.  For love is acquired for something based on a few things, not just the physical form.  (Beauty can also mean the beauty inside a person like their personality but I am going with the more general meaning.) Love seems to be a good  and balanced combination of beauty of the outer form and the personality traits one might find attractive or have similarities with.  For example, in the animal kingdom, one might simply mate due to instinctual impulse or based on the other gender's type of DNA makeup.  That is almost like a human's version of love but based on the attraction of personality and form combined.  It is still human instinct to mate with the person that will grant the best offspring but isn't that now slightly determined by our own feelings, therefore putting our species higher than our animal siblings?

Beauty and love are together but always separate.  Love becomes a more serious feeling than just having an opinion of beauty towards something.  Although, one cannot find love if they have nothing truly beautiful in anyway in their lives.  That is my theory.

Please comment, readers and tell me what you think.  I still am thinking no one is getting to read my blog.  I find that strangely worrying somehow.  Well, next week my topic is going to be on 'what is pain and how does one define the feeling'.

Hope to hear from my readers.  :D
