Pain, comes from the knife, that by fate, may cut into our mortality. It tells us that our mortality has been wounded. It focuses our attention to the wound that we may take action to protect and heal the wound. The immortal are blessed, for there is no pain for the immortal, only for the mortal. The immortal are blessed, for their wounds have been healed for eternity and the mortal must wait for earthly time to heal them. Love, comes from the hearts and spirits of earthly beings, and, from the memories of the immortal. Love is the salve that will help the wound to heal, Love is the bandage that will protect the wound while it heals. Love, is the only shield that earthly beings can share, to protect each other from pain, and assist each other with healing. The wound will heal. Our mortality will show the scar. But, the Love, will persist, after the pain is gone.
