Throughout life one
must endure some kind of pain, whether it is mental, physical, or emotionally
based. However, how the individual him/herself deals with this pain can dictate
how long the suffering they are enduring will last. People tend to react to
pain in completely different ways, some tend to seclude themselves from the
rest of the world while others tend to be open and voice their pain. Even
though one might think that either one is good or bad in their own right, both
have different durations of pain associated with them.
First, I’ll analyze an
individual that tends to keep his/her pain to their self. Although they feel as
though they have lost a apart of themselves with the loss of someone, cutting
themselves out from the everyday life may cause that individual more harm than
good. By keeping all the emotions that they are enduring through this rough
time in it only builds up the anger and frustration inside them and that could
lead them to act on it and that will just bring more harm than good. What they
fail to realize is that the situation in which they are in, is a situation that
someone else has endured before them and knows exactly how they feel and can
help them through it. Although there are negatives to this way of coping with
pain, it also allows one to just be by themselves and try to clear their mind
and then maybe eventually realize that life goes on and that by dwelling on
this event in their life they are just causing more pain to themselves.
Next, I will look into
those that tend to voice the pain in which they are going through. By opening
up and letting people around them know exactly how they are feeling, it allows
the people around them to help to get them through the pain the individual is
enduring. Also, it allows the individual to not hold all the anger, sadness,
and other emotions that they are going through inside them. This will help to
ensure that they will not act out or cause harm to themselves because they feel
alone or are just infuriated with their loss. Although this way seems more
positive of an option, by one opening up it brings more individuals into their
business and can cause them more stress due to the individuals around them
constantly making sure they are okay.
Although pain is
definitely the low point of life, there are multiple ways one can deal with it.
One option may seem more of a reasonable option to an individual, it may not be
reasonable to the person next to them. Either way one chooses to deal with
their pain, they have to control it so that way they do not do anything to
cause them more pain. People just need to realize that they are never alone, there
is always someone there to build you back up when one hits rock bottom.
