Because there's lots of different sources of pain both physical and emotional. Sometimes you can numb out the physical pain, and the emotional pain often heals over time. But I think the toughest kind of pain is when you lose track of yourself -- when you stop being at home with yourself. This can happen for any number of reasons, and it's just terrible: to not be able to trust yourself, to not know what you're about, to not be able to sense which choices are consistent with your own integrity and which aren't -- all of that is terribly painful. So I think that often when people find life chronically painful, and it's not due to some clear physical problem, it's this kind of pain: they've lost track of their self.

Because we make it this way!!! E+R=O Events in our lives + the Responses WE give to them gives the Outcome!! We make our own choices and they arent RIGHT CHOICES, they are choices that we make RIGHT by learning from them!!

Life is painful because of the fall of man due to disobedience. Genesis 3:17-19 tells us what God spoke to Adam after his act of disobedience and I quote: To Adam He said, "Because you listened to your wife (Eve inserted) and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."

I'm not going to pretend I know how to answer that. Anyone who has actually experienced that sort of pain comes to a point where they really just don't have an answer. It's awful. But - specifically, to the person who wrote this - I want you to know that I understand, and that I love you. That may seem silly, since we don't know each other. But I'm sincere. I do understand why you would ask that question. I don't have an answer. But please, just know that someone who has been there, cares.

Life is painful. If we are to take any solace from this fact, it is that we would not even have a word for pain if we did not also know happiness, love and pleasure. To the asker, I recommend relishing these things when available, with the full knowledge that more pain is coming soon. This is life, and it is strangely worthwhile even while it hurts. It also beats any alternatives. I am afraid there is no real answer to this question, but this is the best I can do.

Whatever doesn't kill us makes us stronger. We learn how to cope and deal with pain and we are stronger for it so we can have the wisdom to help others.
