Pain, emotional as well as physical, is very real. But it is not supposed to be permanent. Pain is intended to be a response only, as a trigger to prevent or avoid permanent damage and harm. Some trauma can cause pain that is so intense, that pain is excruciating and lasts much longer than what we would categorize as brief. Healing though, takes effect almost immediately after the pain ceases, and therefore it is in our best interest to move beyond states of pain, even within our emotions, as soon as we are able. We are never supposed to live in a state of pain. Though it may actually begin feel normal, it is not natural. Our natural state is balanced; both physically and emotionally content.

Humbly yours
