Living Easy
January 16, 2013
What if we felt no pain?
Nothing hurt.
We would feel nothing if we fell,
Nothing if you broke your arm.
No emotional pain.
No one would need to cry.
No one would need to scream.
A close friend would die,
Yet we'd be happy?
Happy that they aren't suffering.
We wouldn't mourn the loss at all.
Not feeling pain could be good...
But imagine it...
Our world would be so different...
There would be no pain meds,
No hospitals,
Or doctors,
No therapists.
If you felt no pain,
You wouldn't know if you were hurt,
Or sick.
How does that make you feel?
