well.. how do we feel pain? of course.. we feel physical pain when our pain receptor is triggered and then the signal is sent to the brain..
how about emotional pain then? or psychological pain? how do we feel them and why?
research has consistently show that emotional pain is as bad as physical inflicted pain if not worse.. the same area of the brain is activated during emotional pain such as social exclusion..
besides that, we have a 'mirror neuron' (i think) which when we see someone being tortured, we also will feel the same pain because we can put ourselves in the shoe in the other person..
out of these 3 options, which do you think would inflict the most pain on you?
1) being physically tortured
2) seeing someone you don't know being tortured
3) seeing someone you love being tortured
to me, i think option 3 would inflict the most pain on me.. it is sometimes more painful for you to see someone you love being tortured than to endure the torture yourself.. right?
and when i see the people around me having bad days, arguing with their parents, lovers, the social ills around me, i am sadden by it.. talk about mirror neurons man..
but today when i was watching a chinese drama.. one of the characters said this
"there are so many things happening around us. even if we were to interfere, we cannot help everyone."
and that is the truth. we don't have the time, the resources and the energy to help everyone
WELCOME TO REALITY... so what can we do??
well... i think i can just pray for them and lift them up to God to help them.. man can't do everything cause if they can, they are God..
God Bless~
