Pain

Pain causes us to contemplate, to change direction. It prompts us to look at things differently. With emotional pain as with physical pain, if we keep doing some thing stupid we keep getting hurt. We might say, "Well it shouldn't hurt, i don't want it to hurt," but it will still hurt. Some people manage to hurt over something twenty four hours a day, three hundred and sixty five days a year. They never realise it is time to take their hand off the stove.
