One of the most toxic things I’ve ever done is ignoring the bad in someone because I love them. -Anonymous
There were really moments in our life where we will going to choose to feel the pain. Not because we want it but maybe because we thought that’s the right thing to do. Sometimes I feel like that action can be considered as a form of unconditional love? Like, you know, trying to absorb all the pain for the people you loved and cared for? Like parents to their children or even like God to all of us.
I don’t see anything wrong about it. More of like a heroic deed for me instead. But you know what, I’m wondering for how long is enough for us to realized that taking the pain is not worthy anymore? Does it have a qualifying measure? Should we stop if it causes us stress? Anxiety? Sickness and others? Does it have a required timetable? Do we need to count the chances? Or do we just give up and ran away from them?
On the other hand, the pain I’m talking about here is the pain that is satisfying. Satisfying in a sense that, even though people hurt you repetitively, you still chooses to forgive them. Not only because you care and love them but also because you wanted to help them grow as a person.
At the same time, it is a kind of pain that is selfless. That even though you are hurt, you still think about them like how are they doing, what’s their meal for today, is everyone fine and so on and so forth.
Or maybe the main reason why there are people who chooses to feel the pain is because they are afraid of losing them? Or maybe they got attached already? But no matter what’s the reason underneath of it, I salute all those people who do that because it’s not easy to always choose the happiness of other people than your own.
They may not understand what you’re going through or why you’re doing it, for me what is important is you do what your heart tells you to do even if it cost you your own being. After all, I believe that true love endures all the pain.
So until then, don’t forget to leave a comment and like this post if you want to say something or give me a high five in case we bump elsewhere.
Remember, everything you do is an adventure of a lifetime!
See ya!
