The common theory is that the caliber and
mettle of a human being is how he or she braves the hardships in life. This is
what we are taught. Grin and bear it, or grit your teeth. Clench your fists ...
etc.
But there is also another side to this.
Bottling up emotions and pain can have significant side effects. Sooner or
later, they could spiral into major health setbacks.
The only way you can assimilate pain of any
kind is by not letting it sink into your cellular memory. Physical pain can be
forgotten once it is treated. But emotional pain as also mental agony get
registered and continue to give pain even after the event. We have to guard
against this.
Always have avenues of releasing this kind
of pain, in whichever way, before it becomes a deep wound.
