"Life is pain. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something."
:: Princess Bride ::
How true that is. Life is pain. In fact, life is pain most of the time. Good days are just that, days. Happy moments are just happy moments. For the most part, pain dominates. Pain impacts us, affects us and influences us. Pain is part of the package of being people. Because life is pain. We persevere through the pain. Through valleys, and up mountains, and over hills, and across bridges and down dead-end dirt roads... Full of pain. And as authentic as my God is about what I can expect from a short span on this spinning globe, He is just as honest about how short a span that actually is.
Because life is not pain for long. Not in the scope of eternity. Or it needn't be.
And in that is where we can find what we need and stop settling for something someone is selling to us.
