Introduction: Pain

What prompts me to create this blog? It's pain.

As I see it, almost everyday, I feel different sorts of pain.  I am very vulnerable to pain.  Even now as I am writing, I am feeling it deeply.  Although I try as much as I can to fight it back, it never fails to come back, and teases me, reminding me that it will be here to stay.  It appears in different forms.  Today, it is in the words of a friend; yesterday, the actions of people around me; at other times, the happiness of others - yes, that feeling of envy in seeing others feeling what I most want to feel: happiness.

Yes, I wanna be happy.  Everybody wants that.  But you see, I have this problem.  I find more pain than happiness.  I see more pain.  I feel more pain.  I recognize more pain.  I pay more attention to pain.  And that is so wrong.

It's a fact that everybody has their own share of bliss and misery.  But I wonder how others manage to be so much less miserable than many others.  And because of this question in my head, I was prompted to create this blog.

I have long realized that I have neglected my chances of looking at the possible sources of delight.  And by looking, have the chance to see their beauty, beauty that can possibly rule over the pain that I always entertain.

So here, to fight back, to win over pain, I will post all things that speak of the sweetness of life.  And may this brings serenity to my soul...
