what about the emotional pain from a physical pain? like what if you have to live with the fact that nobody will love you intimately because of a horribly disfiguring disease? or how you go out in public and get stares and make babies cry? i think it would be horribly painful emotionally to be rejected and avoided and never be able to do what a normal, healthy person might. could you live with that?
awwww poor baby
that sux
Woah, man. I'm sorry about that. I had no idea. *hugs* )=
Anyway, I was just trying to say that I thought physical and emotional pain were different. That's why I think it's weird when people try to compare a physical pain of a disease to the emotional pain of a heartbreak. You can't really compare them because they're both on different levels.
you know, people, including my own girlfriend, have told me that i have "smoked all my emotions away" (i used to be a huge stoner a couple years back). i dont cry, i dont feel mental pain, i dont find most things sad that a normal person would, i dont feel that (surprisingly) people should get serious medical attention i.e. prolonged, life threatening diseases or sicknesses. i see that as a waste of time, resources, and money (especially since overpopulation is a growing pandemic). but i am torn.. recently there was a great possibility that i had lymphoma. my girlfriend was tring to tell me that if it was lymphoma that i better get medical attention, but that would go against my beliefs. it was quite the paradigm seeing as i have many responsibilities to take care of (my g/f and my son, not to mention a very old grandpa who thinks he can work like he is 60 and depends on me for major renovations and repairs) and to just up and die would be rather selfish of me. this made me question my beliefs and to add new perspective to my life. yet it WAS just a scare and i am healthy (just an infection). it feels like "divine intervention" in a way, even though i am halfway to atheism because of my dislike for control and heirarchy systems. it make sme wonder...
anyways, no matter what my beliefs, to whine about life as a healthy individual not facing death is in my POV pointless and selfish.
are you saying that love lost can equally if not greater compare to the pain felt from serious rare diseases that cause more pain, physically socially and emotionally in my opinion, than love lost?? i hope not. that would be a faaar stretch in my opinion.
"bt... your boyfriend/girlfriend dumped you so you are obviosly in so much more pain and suffering than these people."
I totally believe in what you're saying. These people have had horrible lives and a lot of pain. But when people throw this "been dumped" thing around it bothers me, because I have had a lot of heart breaks in my lifetime, A LOT. And when people throw that around so easily it makes me wonder if they ever have been in love or not.
harlequin you have from birth and 99% of the time you die within a few days. FOP usually starts by 10 years of age and traps you in a cocoon of bone. you are aware by then. i think FOP is worse. its slower.
bt... your boyfriend/girlfriend dumped you so you are obviosly in so much more pain and suffering than these people.
