The purpose of pain

is to keep the child

from touching the stove
again.

Home to University of Hawaii.  Got my degree in that dome.

" The world is full of suffering,

it is also full

of overcoming it. "

Helen Keller

" Suffering has been stronger

than all other teaching,

and has taught me to understand . . . 

I have been bent and broken, 

but - I hope - into a better shape. "

Charles Dickens

 

There are still some Hawaiians around!

" The world is a looking glass 

and gives back to every man

the reflection of his own face.  "

William Makepeace Thackeray

Without pain
life is a game.
(Without contentment
grows resentment.)

But pain is more than that,

WE are more than that.

It is a big part of living
on this Earth,
in these bodies.

Those who feel no pain
are dangerous.

Pain teaches us humility,
courage,
and empathy 
for other creatures.

Without pain we are heedless
hurting others needless.
