Pain to the brain
Nerve endings
What is felt in the foot
When we step on something sharp
Is only felt in the brain
After
Because of nerve endings
Connections
Sensations can be severed
We think psychic pain
Is caused by other people
That pain
Lives in the things that “they” do
Instead
Pain never lives in them
Never stems from
Another bloom
It resides in you
Always
*a paralysed person can hold their foot in the fire because the nerve connection between foot and brain is broken
And pain is always felt in the brain even if it seems to stem from somewhere else – the hand, the foot, etc, which is by design of course and how pain killers work
They work on the brain
A person who is interested in growth can access a state of calm more quickly, knowing that their own thoughts are the source of their pain
So they work on their brain
Not other people
Living without “pain killers” like alcohol, tobacco, distractions and buffering can at first compound the difficulty
But in the end life does become much easier without
Because you get used to dealing directly with the problem
The thought
And then removing the connection (through a process)
I don’t think there is a human alive (though there may be some dead) that truly achieves a sense of lasting peace amongst every day life and living with other people and I don’t think that is the point
I think the point is to try
A sensitive subject for debate 👍

I like the sharp stabs in the poem – a lot. Brilliant ~ George
Thanks George.
