oh...hes HOT! heee. check out that abs. lol.
ok lets be serious here. haa. i've been reading a book titled
'where is GOD when it hurts?'. its a really interesting book that elaine
lend me when i was really down. i really think we should thank god for PAIN!.
think im nuts to say that? i tot i was too. but here let me share with u wad i read.
Painless Hell.
"The word leprosy conjures up to exaggerated images stubby fingers, ulcerous
wounds, missing legs, distorted facial features. It is the oldest recorded diseases
n also one of the most feared. Leprosy is indeed cruel, but not in the manner of
most diseases. Primarily, it works like an anesthetic, attacking the pain cells of
hands, feet, nose, ears, and eyes to produce numbness. not so bad, really one
might think. most diseases are feared because of their pain, wad makes a painless
disease so horrible?.....
....dr. brand went to fetch sum supplies frm a little storeroom behind the hosp. he
tried to open the door, but a rusty padlock would not yield. just at that moment, one
of his youngest patients strolled by-an undersized, malnourished ten yr old. brand
liked the boy for his pleasant, cooperative spirit.
"Oh, sahib doctor, let me try," the boy said, and reached for the key. with a quick jerk
of his hand he turned the key in the lock. brand was dumbfounded. how could this
weak youngster, half his size, exert such force?
his eyes caught a telltale clue. was that a drop of blood on the floor? upon examining
the boy's index finger, brand discovered the act of turning the key had gashed it open
to the bone; skin, fat, and joint were all exposed. yet the boy was completely unaware
of it! to him, the sensation of cutting his finger to the bone was no different from that
of picking up a stone or turning a coin in his pocket. after that incident, brand redoubled
his efforts to test his theory abt leprosy being a secondary, not a primary cause of injury....
pain is not an unpleasantness to be avoided at all costs. in a thousand ways large and
small, pain serves us each day, making possible normal life on this planet. if we are healthy,
pain cells alert us when to go to the bathroom, when to change shoes, when to loosen the
grip on a mop handle or rake, when to blink. without pain, we would lead lives of paranoia,
defenseless against unfelt dangers. the only safe environment for a painless person is to
stay in bed all day....but even that produces bedsores."
now will u thank god for pain now? i do...
