“Imagine you are walking in the woods and you see a small dog sitting by a tree. As you approach it, it suddenly lunges at you, teeth bared. You are frightened and angry. But then you notice that one of its legs is caught in a trap. Immediately your mood shifts from anger to concern: You see that the dog's aggression is coming from a place of vulnerability and pain. This applies to all of us. When we behave in hurtful ways, it is because we are caught in some kind of trap. The more we look through the eyes of wisdom at ourselves and one another, the more we cultivate a compassionate heart.” WayLooksHeartKindEyePainImagineTreeDogWalkingApproachSittingConcernAngryCaughtLegsWoodsMoodTeethBehaveVulnerabilityFrightenedCompassionateAggressionTrapsHurtfulThrough The EyesSmall Dogs Author:Tara Brach
“Your legs feel like fried bacon after a day of climbing and descending. It's a roller coaster ride, but no one is pulling you up the mountain. You're headed toward Yosemite more than 4,000 feet of pounding the pedals. You are aware of every movement because your thighs feel tender with a sensation of pain. You push on, toward the final ascent into the valley. In front of you is a monster mountain-El Capitan. Your eyes grow wide. You take a deep breath.

“Nature has placed in the front part of man, as he moves, all those parts which when struck cause him to feel pain; and this is felt in the joints of the legs, the forehead and the nose, and has been so devised for the preservation of man, because if such pain were not felt in these limbs they would be destroyed by the many blows they receive.” IfsMenFeelsHas BeensWould BePainMovingFeltCausesFrontsHe ManBlowLegsDestroyedNosesPreservationLimbsJointsForeheads Book:Life, art and science, the thoughts of Leonardo Source: Life, art and science, the thoughts of Leonardo
“Imagine that for hundreds of years your most formative traumas, your daily suffering and pain, the abuse you live through, the terror you live with, are unspeakable - not the basis of literature. You grow up with your father holding you down and covering your mouth so another man can make a horrible searing pain between your legs.... You learn how to leave your body and create someone else who takes over when you cannot stand it any more. You develop a self who is ingratiating and obsequious and imitative and aggressively passive and silent - you learn, in a word, femininity.” MenYearsSelfBodyPainSufferingFatherLiteratureGrowsGrowing UpImagineMouthsAbuseBasesDown AndSilentTerrorLegsTraumaYour BodyHorribleImagine ThatPassiveFemininityAnother ManCoveringUnspeakableSuffering And Pain Author:Catharine MacKinnon
“I think emotional and mental pain is probably worse than physical pain.

“A broken leg can be remembered and located: "It hurt right below my knee, it throbbed, I felt sick at my stomach."

“I feel pain everywhere. A lot of guys in chairs do feel their legs. But if you don't, there's a thing called disreflex, so you know if something happens, say, you can't feel your foot or your leg and your body reacts. You know something's not right and you survey what's going on.” IfsKnowsFeelsBodyHappensPainGuyFeetLegsYour BodyThings HappenChairsSurveys Author:Mark Zupan
