"'Master, these torments--tell me, will they increase
After the Judgment, or lessen, or merely endure,
Burning as much as now?' He said, 'In this,
Go back to your science, which teaches that the more
A creature is perfect, the more it perceives the good--
And likewise pain." (emphasis added)
Without romanticizing pain, take heart from the fact that you've endured so much of it--and survived. That takes courage. The greater your pain, the deeper you are in your own hell--and are that much closer to recovery.
