Cabalistic Nights

Pain makes you stronger so embrace it and you will move forward.

Pain can be physical or emotional; everyone knows that but often people don't see it in others. When we are in pain, we often go about hiding it from our friends and our family, trying to prevent them from worrying, putting more pressure on ourselves to bear the pain alone. We are often blinded by the pain to misjudge our own ability to tolerate the pain and sometimes, even when we know we are hurting ourselves, we continue to do so.

Take for example a person trying to lose weight. They know that by eating less, they will consume less energy and if they exercise more, they will burn more energy. So the logic behind that is eat less, exercise more. They know that it's bad to each so little yet they continue to do so despite this knowledge because they know that it will give them the results they want, regardless of the damages to themselves.

We all do it at some point in our lives. There is a delicate balance between enduring a lot of pain and going through too much pain. Sometimes, the pain is just overwhelming that it makes our whole world come tumbling down. When do we know to stop bearing it alone? Maybe we don't. A lot of times, we just have to guess. What we need to understand is that there will be many people who are there for us every step of the way. These are our true friends who could pull you through anything. These are our real friends, our friends for life.
