there's something in pain, they say. nothing, nothing at all, say i. there's no glory in ignominy, and nothing celestial or even quasi divine about lying in a pool of your own excrement, rats nibbling at your toes- an honour once reserved only for corpses.

there's nothying in pain, no end of silent suffering.

i didnt exactly mean physical pain... i just dont approve of glorification of pain.

Oh... I didn't mean to constrain to physical either. Nor do I see it as glorious.

Perhaps people glorify pain in order to answer the question, "Why?? Why must I hurt?".

i hurt because i am human.
