Strength, Love, Pain

Strength love and pain. It is too often that these three vital aspects of life are separated. The most commonly separated are pain and love. Love comes in so many different forms it is sometimes hard to address. Therefore look at it as a feeling of complete selflessness, where nothing big or small could ever sever this feeling from you. And pain, well pain is self-explanatory, but in this comparison view it as emotional. Pain is viewed as an antonym of love because some believe that one can not feel pain and love simultaneously. Though this is completely false, some still find themselves trouble because they feel pain so they shut themselves off from love. In reality ambivalence is the nature of love. It is only through pain and conflict that one can truly appreciate love, therefore being able to love another. This pain is directly related to strength, specifically inner strength. It does not matter how great the struggle or how agonizing the pain, all conflict can be rectified if one gives themselves hope. Because, sometimes, hope is not given to us, we must create it in ourselves. Though this inner-strength may leave some feeling alone and void of love that is not inner-strength's nature. It should ready a person for the job that is love. So how are strength, love, and pain connected? Simply by human growth, one must feel pain to be strong and one must have strength to truly love.
