a debate about pain
why do we as humans chase pain its better than not feeling anything at all its better to walk into a burning building and feel the heat than drive past it in the cold our heartbeat increases as we walk through the centre which is better than the dullness of strolling on the pavement of the road and drowning in an ocean we cannot swim rather than wonder if the water feels like what we forebode why do we as humans chase pain to feel alive i suppose the greeks masked pain with love and turned it into a show Shakespeare did the same enticing us in Romeo poisoned us with thoughts to scar our arms our minds our lives and our hearts and we keep reading because we enjoy the pain we keep holding on because sun comes after rain we wear the same clothes over and over and over again despite the blood stain on the sleeves to remind ourselves that we are alive to feel something anything pain
