Hurt

I guess part of growing older is watching and participating in illness and death happening to people we love. Heartbreak. Horrible, excruciating heartbreak. It’s because we can “feel” and have emotions.

I sometimes wonder, if God had given us a choice, would we “accept” emotions or would we opt for none so we wouldn’t have to care and ever be hurt? Would we give up the goodness and love that we’ve felt all our lives to not have to hurt like this from time to time?

If we give up emotions then we don't get to feel the flip side either. The joy when the baby is born, or does something for the first time. The excitment of winning or watching someone you love win. The love that we share with others. I think God gave us all of the emotions because he feels them all too!

But I've wondered the same thing especially when things are painful!
