A Pondering Mind

A little of this. A little of that.


Reality

“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.”

~ Jim Morrison*

  1. No matter what kind of pain it is, it’s a heavy load to carry and we all deal with it in different ways.

      1. Sometimes you just build a wall around it and carry on.
