Counselor Sandra Akua - '' Why Love is Defined as Pain ''


Counselor Sandra last episode she established the fact that, the best definition for love is "Love is Pain''. She further expatiated that, Love is pain shouldn't be mistaken for painful heartbreaks, hurts or disappointments experienced in any forms of relationship but rather this is as a result of:






•          Unpreparedness for pain,
•          Mistaken love for what love is not (Misconceptions)
•          Over expectation of the attributes of love.

In this episode Counselor Sandra will discuss why love is defined as pain and what unpreparedness for pain entails.
Please stay tuned, I will be right back.


The measure of Love is relative as per the levels of relationship. The basis of every relationship is supposed to be love but unfortunately people have different motives for involving in all kinds of relationship.


These motives could be materialistic gains, sex, fame, children, privileges, physical appearance, body shape, societal positioning (Classification) and many more. These motives may not be completely bad if they are moderately considered and applied. The prime motive for any kinds of relationships should be Love.


The truth is that, the basis of every relationship should love.  The love under this discussion is not just love for your spouse, mates, parents, siblings and children but also towards religious beliefs, sports, animals (pets), arts/drawings, colour, career or any profession you find yourself in and others.  This emphasizes that, “Love is pain” is suitable and applicable in all situations and all kinds of relationships as stated in our last week's episode.


For further explanation of love being pain, pain has to be defined.
Pain is defined as a highly unpleasant physical sensation caused by illness or injury. It is also a mental suffering of distress.


As defined, pains are both physical and mental, in other words psychological or emotional. Love and pain are inseparable. 
Pains in love can also refer to the PRICE One pays in EXPRESSING love for someone or something. The price being paid also differs based on the levels of relationship and the other parties involved.


Although self-calculated rewards shouldn’t be expected but there is always a PRIZE for every PRICE paid in love. As the saying goes, no pain no gain.
However, all these PRICES being PAID in Love which are also the PAINS in expressing love towards someone or something should be paid wholeheartedly with wisdom. This is the only way to attract a great REWARD of love which are the GAINS of love. These GAINS are also known as the ATTRIBUTES of Love or the FRUITS of Love.


As we discussed in our last Episode that Love in itself does not cause pains but one of the things that causes painful heartbreaks, hurts and disappointments is the unpreparedness for pains. I will start preparing you for the pains that could possibly come your way of loving someone or something in a fortnight.
This preparation will start with the possible pains you may encounter in your religious beliefs.


In the meantime, Counselor Sandra next Episode is dedicated to addressing all your questions from the first to the fourth Episode of our “Love Series” on Counselling TV.
