Ill minds, ill hearts, and ill bodies. Some will do whatever they can rather than accept, cling onto hopes, until every last straw is used. I'm glad to see, though, that there are a few–like us–who choose to remain steadfast and self-consistent, even in the face of death, tortures, and other abominable ends. The demonization of pain is one of the biggest ironic woes of humanity–'repulsive this', 'loathful that', 'pitiful', 'bad', 'evil', 'good', 'not enough', 'enough', etc.–when will it ever be made whole again? Their judgments create a double whammy–instead of just pain being pain–it's now multiple pains of their emotional responses to unwanted stimulus, through passive, aggressive, alpha-beta, competitive, fight, flight, fawn, freeze, obsessive tendencies, and or ego insecurities. Thankfully, we can bypass it, through self-awareness and acceptance–to gain understanding and make peace with uncertainty–and set due with whatever time there is left, to enjoy, create, and or live the way we want, rather than let it be stolen in worry, fear, hatred, jealousy, anger, anxiety, stress, guilt, shame, etc.
