Regardless of what we do --
To engage or avoid,
Anything in our makeup that we're unwilling to accept,
Or look at,
Will cause us pain,
Sooner or later.
I once worked with a man who'd had a bad experience with doctors.
He refused point-blank to have anything more to do with them.
By the time I knew him, he was covered in boils.
He died a slow and horribly painful death from septicemia.
Well, that was his conscious choice.
Personally, I've been happy to endure a short, sharp pang of pain,
Have the boil lanced
And be done with it.
That's my choice.
What's yours?
