Keep Pain in a Bottle
Pain comes in many forms it can be physical, emotional, guilt, hurt, etc.. What kind are you in? Pain is a reminder that something or something we did is wrong. In that way it’s a good thing, but in another way it can be destructive to the point of destroying you.
There is pain in being lonely, it’s this empty, hopeless feeling that creates its own unique pain. Depression, anxiety, fear are all byproducts of this feeling. You will wonder, when will this ever end?
The First Step
Don’t be afraid to let it out, pain is designed to create emotions. Emotions are a way to release the pressure of the pain you have.
Don’t ever feel embarrassed to release your emotions. I can tell from experience this can go on for years, it just depends on how much pain you have. This is OK, I’ll tell you in a minute what wants you to think differently.
This is the beginning to moving pain from you and putting it in a bottle. A lot of people say “just get rid of pain” this means you never want to see it again, I look at it a bit different.
Put it in a bottle and keep it around, you might say this sounds crazy, it might be but let me explain.
Pain has another purpose besides alerting us that somethings wrong, it’s a reminder. A reminder of what we did, of who we hurt. A reminder of actions we allowed to occur that may have hurt us or loved ones.
Oh yes, take a look at that pain in the bottle every so often because we have a tendency to repeat ourselves when things get comfortable again. Oh, we can also repeat the actions that created pain all over again, were human.
What’s at the core of all of this? It’s a thing called SIN.
If you think this only applies to religious folk your wrong. Sin is alive and well, it doesn’t discriminate who it will destroy and inflict pain to.
I always keep a little sin in a bottle so I am reminded of the things I allowed sin to do.
Keep a little bottle around the house just in case of emergencies, it’s healthy.
