What is Pain? How does one feel Pain? Is Pain what MLK felt as the police baton struck the left side of his head in Montgomery, Alabama, while he lead a march for Civil Rights? Is Pain what Emmett Till felt in Mississippi as he was tortured and lynched for whistling at a white Carolyn Bryant in 1955. Is Pain what Emmett's Mother felt as she buried her son in Chicago? Is Pain what a 14 year-old boy felt when he didn't make the Pony Leagure baseball team? Is Pain what a 17 year-old high school girl felt when she was not asked to prom? Is Pain what you feel when you stand next to your dying father in a hospital and watch him weakly exhale for the last time? Is Pain what you feel from a bee sting? Is Pain what you feel when your dog died? Is Pain the perpetual feeling you have after your parents divorice?
