Emotional pain and the love we hold back

We live our lives burdened with a huge weight. Our emotional pain is so heavy, so cumbersome and so overwhelming that it is hard to believe how we can still breath and function the way we do.

Like many burdens and pains it becomes part of our consistent none awareness; we numb and cease to feel as no moment exists without it.

The pain is an accumulation of past experiences that may go all the way to our early childhood. Inconsistent patterns of care, abandonment or let downs by our primary care givers. These experiences might become enforced later in life through other let downs and our pain just grows more. The accumulation of pain breeds fear and mistrust and that spills into our relationships.

The pity and shame come from the limitations such pain can cause us to love.

Fear holds love and suffocates it.

We push love away, we become harsh and stubborn, we doubt intentions, we hold affection.

We strangulate love at its birth.

How can we love when we are so much in pain and so much in fear?!

Realizing that we have such issues is just half the way to liberation; the other half needs a leap of faith.

eradicating fear and pain is a long hard journey that eases with love, with patience, we a faith in the goodness of us as humans.

Just remember, the essence of life is love, the essence of love is the absence of fear and pain.
