Emotional pain
There are times when life presents challenges that feel too painful to bear. These challenges can be physical, emotional and spiritual in nature, and can come from internal and/or external causes, or even from realms that are beyond our comprehension. The challenges are faced in many ways, and each way leaves an imprint on the person facing the challenges.
Humor is considered to be a positive way to face challenges, and in general, that is true. It becomes negative when the humor is aimed at the heart or the insecure perception of oneself. Rationalization can be positive or negative, depending on how it’s built. Escapism is one way to face challenges, but in general, it eventually leads to inability to process reality. Striking out is a hurtful way to approach challenges, and it can lead to guilt, broken relationships, and further troubles. Suppressing feelings of hurt and disillusionment can lead to serious physical ailments, or to future growth if the person decides to abandon the hurtful events and focus on the future. Using the feelings of insignificance to bolster oneself towards achievement is helpful only when the person does not trample others on the way.
The spiritual realm sometimes drives the challenges that people face in ways that people cannot fathom. Changes in physical layering (the atmosphere, the magnetosphere, the auroras, and further on) or within the ground can sometimes be attributed to realms in which spiritual forces are at play. In these cases, people have little control and can only react and conjecture meaning.
When manipulation of groups by other groups occurs, each side faces challenges that can upend their lives. Deliberately setting out to harm other people causes physical injury and injury at the spiritual realm. Deliberately proselytizing is a human endeavor that causes change at the individual, group, and spiritual levels. When force is used in the proselytizing, the harm is irreparable. Deliberately harming a group member in one’s own group is defective, and deliberately harming a member of another group is equivalently defective but is often justified by the offending group. No action that is deliberately vindictive receives atonement; it is forever reverberating.
Reverberations of unkindness, violence, abandonment, brutality, duplicity, torture and terrorization, contemptuousness, gloating destructively, and self-exultation over despicable behavior, are causes of most of the challenges that people face. The actual actions could have happened to oneself or to one’s forebears and they lead to emotional pain that can be overwhelming.
Emotional pain displays itself through physical and mental manifestations, so that the causes can be hard to discern. The constructive way to handle hurts, be they physical or emotional, is to address them from several angles and rule out causes that do not apply. Generally, emotional pain resides in parts of the body that hold control or judgement, and each person has susceptible parts depending on physiology, age, tiredness, and learned behavior. (Examples of body parts that hold control are the brain, lungs, and pancreas. Examples of body parts that hold judgement are the small and large intestines, the prostate, and certain tendons in the ankles.) Societal pressures also exert influence on emotional pain. Isolating the cause of emotional pain (because there usually is one main cause) requires a willingness to accept that pain–physical, emotional or spiritual–might have its roots in forces that are internal or external.
