Pain And Grief Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Pain is a given; suffering is a choice.
Pain is bodily; it's not our making.
Grief is of the mind. It is our making.
Cure the pain and reason the grief.

Grief from anticipation of pain
Anguish from the experience of pain
And agony from the memory of pain
Are mind made and would enhance the pain felt.

The emotional get high suffering.
The emotional get more pain from pain.
The age can come to play to an extent.
To become rational can lessen the grief.
