If you are human you have suffered physical, psychological and emotional pain, but what some people miss is that element of "what does not kill you, makes you stronger." No pain no gain is the chant of the fitness guru. When a woman co-creates the miracle of life, we call her process "labor pains." There is a cost we all must pay on the earth plane and pain is the price we pay for mastery of any kind.
Buddha defined it in his first noble truth that "Life is suffering." In Christianity it is referred to as the crucifixion/resurrection cycle of life. It is what wise people preach, when they say that pain is not punishment, and pleasure is not reward.
