Hurts

It hurts to be human. It is human to hurt.

What is "hurt"?

Hurt:
1) to inflict phyical pain
2) to cause emotional pain o anguish
3) to suffer pain or grief
4) to cause damage or distress

A word synonymous with pain. It makes a person human to feel pain. Be that pain physical or emotional, it hurts just the same. Why is it human to hurt?

To hurt is a weakness. Feeling pain is a weakness. Being human means being born with a weakness. It is to be born human that makes us weak. Our only strength lies in what is known as our "Aqal". Our ability to think.

Hurting helps build the humanity in a person. Only in suffering does the human soul mature.

What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be not forever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower
Grief not, rather find,
Strength in what remains behind,
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be,
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering,
In the faith that looks through death
In years that bring philosophic mind.

- William Wordsworth

It is human to hurt because it is human to be weak. And it is human to hurt because it is human to learn and grow. Pain marks change and the breaking of bounaries.It is the cost of wisdom and learning.

These are the reasons why life hurts so much.
