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.
