Trials, troubles, pain, and tribulations let you know you are alive. Without them, you would be dead. You can't be alive and not experience these symptoms. Cutting yourself is just retarded though, (not sure those who aren't experienced with the physcological reasons for self harming should really be commenting on it...) got enough pain as it is without the physical.
That is exactly the point misunderstanding people can't seem to grasp. Those that are less able to deal with the emotional pain, need to make the pain physical, in order to let go of it, and deal with it.
Let it be said, each has ones own way of dealing with emotional pain, whether shutting it out, trying to ignore it, or self harming in order to recover from it, non is right nor wrong. It is what works for that person (unfortantely though the side effect with self harming is increased risk of potential danger).
BTW...The price for life is death, everyone pays! LoL...deep moment with P_p...
