There's a lot of it around - both physical and emotional, manifesting in all sorts of ways. As a cancer patient, over the last six years I've had my fair share.

Pain isn't an absolute thing - it depends a lot on our experience of it and how we feel about it, as to how much it hurts. In modern times, we make rather a big deal of it and avoid it like the plague. We've come to regard it as a mental health condition. No, it's part of life.

It doesn't have to be like that. Even so, it still hurts.

This pod is for you who are experiencing pain. From one who lives with it. With love, Palden.
