The pain in my left foot, though minor, has made it increasingly more difficult to perform my tasks. I had to turn back after less than halfway during last night’s walk to the tower. Today’s motorcycle ride was even hindered because of the clutch. And to think- something as miniscule as an unalignment or baby fracture can cause so much discomfort. We live our whole life in wonder of our body; never fully aware of the functions taking place or the narrowing harm that we introduce to it.  Some accidents or severities are definitely avoidable- whether health conscious, avid fitness\er or you choose not to go sky diving there are many options available to stay on the right foot. But what happened to me and to billions of others are life’s unavoidable lessons. These lessons serve as groundbreaking importance to the development of human nature; they act as an awareness; an awareness of the pain and suffering that exists on the whole- and no matter how painful, people always endure. They fight and they endure. Life without pain is indescribable- for it is not life.  In Buddhist doctrine the focal law is that life is suffering and worldwide famine and terror all the way to he bumps and scratches are all apart of life's infinitely modified puzzle. These injuries are not to break us down but build us up. Take heed in your suffering and let it help you grow- for the forest must suffer winter chills to take fruition next spring.
