Are You Talking About Pain?

An absence of relief is an invasion of extreme pain.

When we experienced pain, we see to it that we will never ever suffer from that again. Whatever that pain is, whoever or whatever caused that feeling, you already build walls and boundaries to secure yourself.

You're like a child who loves to eat candies and as he or she eats sweets, his or her teeth embrace cavities. This is like how you love to hear sugarcoated words from your dearest person which you know what exactly will be the result of it. Those sugarcoated words contain cavities that will ruin atleast two or more of your teeth gradually, worst, is when your whole set of teeth fall off.

Think of a child who loves to chew, lick, and swallow sweets everyday. One day, he's chewing gummy bears. On his wrong move, it got stuck on his decaying tooth. It bothers him all day up until night. He can't even go to sleep and rest due to his tooth ache. He brushes, gargles and mouthwashes his mouth but nothing worked out.

The other day, he visited a dentist and advised him to root out his decaying tooth but he cannot do that abruptly since he still needs to take antibiotics to kill the pain. After medication, the dentist can now uproot the child's tooth. But it was never easy, he was afraid of what will happen next. He's torn between two questions. How painful it will be? Can I still eat sweets and let my other teeth suffer?

At present times, we are not sure of what is to come whether good or bad. But one thing is already engraved in our mind. You will never chew on that side of your mouth again. Will you forget about your favorite sweets? Of course not, you don't like pain but you love candies.

Now you're in trouble.
