"You'll always feel it (pain) Sherlock. But you don't have to fear it"
- Jim Moriarty (BBC Sherlock, 2014)
Wise words indeed. What more from a villain. A nemesis.
It
is not always we have a soft spot for antagonists. I know plenty of
girls out there who are rooting for Loki (Tom Hiddleston) in Thor (seriously I really like Loki as Loki, not because of Tom. Was relieved that he wasn't really dead).
Same goes to Jim Moriarty. Though I got to know he wasn't dead spoiler (ooops did I spoil it for someone else too?), it was actually nice to know that Moriarty survives.
Not
because I'm a dark villain myself or I condone evil (well maybe I do?
Just haven't showed my true colors yet :p). Sometimes it's just a matter
of fact of perspectives.
Back
to the pain issue. Here I am, after a 5km run, something I decided to
forgo yesterday as I was half dead after a morning futsal session. My
body still aches but after spraying some pain relieve, I continued with
my planned schedule.
What
I wanted to remind myself yet again is, pain is a feeling. Not fearing
it is a state of mind. And true by going against the pain barrier, you
break and rebuild yourself to become stronger. Better.
I
restarted the ab crunching exercise which brought me my almost perfect
abs sometimes back ago. The pain was all so familiar. I couldn't even
finish the whole 240 crunches when I first started.
But
now, finishing 240 crunches leaves me in pain. But not agony. Because
just the state of mind of not fearing the pain that I am to endure, I am
more resilient to the pain and aches now.
Applying this philosophy in life. And I'm sure you will no doubt rewrite your own limits.
