What hurts the most in life?

You know, in life we cannot deny pain from the path we take. They are always there. They are of different forms. They destroy us but they make us strong. They make us cry but to prepare us for a greater problem to solve in the future. They make us give up but let us realize somehow the value of standing up. There are reasons why we are in pain. Like for me, the following makes me hurt so bad a.) When I am naturally hit by illness b.) When I am left by someone I love c.) When I am injured d.) When I feel alone in a group of people e.) When I see people struggling f.) When I see helpless people on the street g.) When I cannot own something I dearly want And there's a lot more. How about you? What do you think are the matters in life which hurt you so badly that you cannot just get over easily or you haven't forgotten yet?

Losing my beloved Father the other year. It still hurts me every day, I can't just pick up the phone and hear his voice, I can't go to see him, he's not there anymore. It hurts a lot, and even with the passage of time, the hurt doesn't lessen

for me... it's losing something beloved ... i've always valued everything i have since i can only have a few ... i value others but i dont value myself ... i've got a lot of pains that i've never showed and i think they're all filling me up and making it more painful to bear ... i'm not used to losing something valuable ... or rather i've never lost one ... but the thought of losing that special one ... ... ...

learn to value yourself. emo, i know people like you have usually pain to keep inside. Remember pain is natural. But when it lingers long inside your mind, it may be a psychological matter to heal from time to time. Just ask for God's guidance though for pain to be milder than they should be to you. Anyway, going back to the topic, I too have never tried losing someone special. But the thought of losing them is painful. I have had cried already when I think of those things to happen. But I don't pray them to come true.

Yes, we cannot deny the truths of life. It is wonderful to stand up and be strong and do all we can in life to be happy and fulfill our dreams. But, for me I seem to be a down mood that will not let go. Here are the things that hurt me so bad: 1.) When there are more days in the month than I have money 2.) When I realize I have so little to look forward to. 3.) When I think there is no reason to get up from bed in the morning 4.) When i feel sick and down day after day and nothing changes. 5.) When I come to the realization that my life has no happiness or adventure left in it.

Well, I think you are much more disciplined than I am for one thing. And, for me I have to disagree. I think my situation is both pathetic and sad. To wake up each day and not care if you get up, get dressed, and get after it or not. Nothing wonderful or great about feeling this way. It is like taking a huge wedge out of the circle of life.

But you know, we only have a life. Only one. So we just have to make things happy and smooth-flowing. We cannot just let a smile slip away everyday. You know what i mean.

Phenomenal! I mean, well you just said it. It all wraps to this idea that it pains when it bores. When I think that life is senseless and has nothing more to give to me, I feel helpless and numb but in pain. This is the kind of thing which irritates my mood. That's why as much as possible, I would like to make myself busy and join in the things I loved to because they make me earn money everyday, they are something to look forward to, they inspire me from getting up from bed early, if I'm sick I am motivated to move still and increases the adventure of life. Thank you for this celticeagle. This is wonderful

It crashes and falls and crumbles. How hard could that be? Well No matter how hard we complain it's always going to boil up on the same thing. Silence helps but sometimes you just cant help and wish that you'd do something about it.

Ignoring the things that I've done! So true! It makes you shiver to the bones and wanna scream. After all those time wasted to do this particular thing and let people appreciate it, they are ignored and it crashes the world all at once.

YES! This is clever. I haven't thought of this! Yes. The feeling of guilt after having hurt someone you love so much is grinding my body all over. I feel like it's a grave sin.

the most painful happening in life is that when you see your loved one suffers and you do not have anything to do to ease his/her sufferings.

The most worst kind of betrayal that I can think of is betrayal. It really hurts real time when someone whom you have trusted for too long suddenly betrays you. Hence losing your trust and especially when they don't think that they have done anything wrong to you at all.

Betrayal hurts really bad especially when that someone who betrays you is the one who have lived with for a long time.

I have always been a person that loves and loves deeply. Of course, this also means that there are a lot of things that deeply injure me. That said, these are just a few of the things that I have a hard time dealing with: 1) The loss of someone that I love 2) Betrayal by someone that I care about 3) Not being able to help a person that is in need 4) Having to tell my children that we can't afford something that they want

I feel the life is hard for me recent days, most of time i don't know why and do nothing.I just sit there, facing the window, look at the outside and don't know why i am here. I have a warm family, my parents love me, and my husband treat me well and take good care of me , and i have a steady work... It seems that i should satisfied, but i don't ,i still feel painful about the life, just like you mentioned, when i think about the future, the price of the house is very high in China now, for common person,maybe 3 generation are busy for one small flat....There are many poor people in the society,while the rich people never take on the responsibility to the whole society,the law is not integrity, it is easier for the rich. If we are naturally hit by illness, the high cost of medical will raise this painful.All i want to say is how hard the life is, while we should not to be so painful in fact.Sigh.

Exactly. Sometimes life's pain is caused by other people's greed and mischief. I feel for you acer5540. The irrelevance of life sometimes we cannot help but be helpless. Even if we do something about it, they are constant or so hard to change even. So to say, the least we can do is to accept how things are going and stay positive as much as we could.

What makes me hurt so bad is: 1. You have good intentions, such as helping people and being taken maliciously by others. 2. When you did your utmost best but it seems that it is not enough. 3. Pleasing people but you're aware that you can't please them all 4. Being honest when everyone doubts your motives.

I know what you mean. To me, there is nothing worse than being honest and people seem to be attempting to make you be dishonest anyway. That burns me up!

Bullseye! These are concrete answers to begin with. There are some people really who just can't absorb your aura maybe because you're just too good for them or they thought they are too good for you. It is either way. But whatever it is, you still have a life to lead you know, please others who need you the most and leave those dislike you. This is a situation wherein you have to loose what makes you sick and give the best shot with what makes you good.

In this journey called life, the roads we travel are often rocky. But, when times are really tough, Someone carries us on His shoulder to make our trip bearable. But, being human, we still feel the pain and sometimes lose faith. Being human, we are also resilient and we get back on track. What hurts me most is losing a loved one. After a while, though, I realize that we don't really lose anyone because someday when the time comes, we will be together again. I console myself by saying, "God needed my son to be with Him anywhere and everywhere so that both of them can help his loved ones and everyone who need help." For now, I pray that I will be the next one to go. Such is life, so let's focus on the brighter side and hope for the best. Have a lovely day, uniqueorn

hi uniqueorn. i can only think of two types of pain. physical and emotional. unfortunately, the latter is one which does not heal easily long after all the physical wounds have cleared up. to me, what hurts the most in life has got to do with something emotional in nature. when my grandmother passed away i thought that god was unfair to have taken her away. she was the best grandma i ever knew. i was so depressed for several months and wasn't my usual self then. my studies, my entire life was beginning to feel the pinch as well. that must have hurt me the most. i have since got up and moved on...

Hi, uniqueorn. When someone lies on me. When I failed at something that I have been waiting on all of my life to achieve. When someone that I love tell me that they no longer love me. When I am very sick and have a bad illness. When my kids don't listen to me and are disrespectful. When my friend does not want anything to do with me because I may not have something that they do have. When the man that I have been married to for many years, is cheating on me. When my own family that I grew up with forsake and reject me. When people at school don't want me to be in the same group with them. When my own parents don't love and care for me. When people treat me unkind for nothing. These things will crush my heart if they are done to me. This is what causes me pain.

when someone hurts me deeply with their words. Their words will repeat in my mind again and again just like music turning on without a break. That hurts me so.

WE all have this kind of attitude actually. But it would really depend how you control it. This is a psychological matter. We can take control the way we think. It may be hard but I've been there. I just have to be very passive with what I think is destructive and be appreciative with the constructive.

I'm a believer on Allah. I remember Him in my worries and happiness. He is the Master of illness and peace. Therefore, when I think that I'll get nothing what I want from him hurts me most. But after a while I recover by His grace and feel very happy, comfortable and peaceful. Have a nice day.

when i get betrayed... but as much as it hurts so bad i never dwell on the pain or the act done against me..they are people just as i am and i know that we always end up hurting the people we love. it's just a matter of looking things at a different perspective. you hang on to negative feelings...you'll miss out on more essential things in life.

Now, upon reading the responses of this thread, it is such a realization that betrayal is the number one matter that hurts people. Who anyway would not be hurt with this kind of thing, right?

As we go through life there will always be pain along the way and as I look back to those years that had passed I realized that those things that hurt me the most are those pain caused by people who had betrayed my trust and confidence, the one's who made me doubt my worth as a person; who had broken your faith in the goodness of the human heart. The people who are dear and close to my heart. When you've held them and carried them in your heart, nurture the bond that ties between, grew and cultivated it only to be torn by betrayal and distrust; my heart bleeds...aren't yours?

My heart bleeds when betrayal comes. But you know, I must learn that people are imperfect. We are all prone to betray. For that, I give reconsideration. I just move on but things are like never before.

yeah pain is like a twin of happiness. Im only 23 right now but Im diagnosed to have sickness that seems to be impossible to be cured. During my university years people often tell they are so envious with me. I am on the top of the class,am very active with the extra-curricular activities competing to different parts of the country, I got good family, found a good job and everything was good. Right now, Im into a very good and stable relationship with plans to marry and have my own child. But recently, all these dreams turn into a nightmare when I found out I cannot bear a child and the worst, I have this sickness.The painful part is, I was just starting to dream then all of a sudden, Ill wake up in the morning as if Id never dreamed.

I'm sorry to hear this. This has been posted 7 months ago like I've never had the chance to peak on my threads because I have been very busy. But anyway, It's not yet too late to tell you that my dreams are with you. It's not yet the end. We still have lots of ways to consider being happy.
