So here's a scene that I wrote for a play a long time ago...


Doctor: I know it hurts.

GRIEVING GIRL: But it hurts a lot…I don't like it.

Doctor: I don't think anybody does.

GRIEVING GIRL: I want it to go away.

Doctor: I wish it'd go away too, but you know what?

GRIEVING GIRL: What?

Doctor: Come here, (he puts her hand on his chest.) What do you feel?

GRIEVING GIRL: I feel your heart beat.

Doctor: You know what I feel?

GRIEVING GIRL: What?

Doctor: I feel pain, I feel hurt, and I feel anger, but you know why I feel all that?

GRIEVING GIRL: Why?

Doctor: Because at one time, there was love, and there was joy there. It may be hard right now, but if you continue to love, eventually the pain will fade away. Right now, all you can feel is pain, but the pain itself is proof of the love that proceeded it. So remember this, when you stop feeling pain, and hurt, when bad things happen, you've stopped feeling love too, and love is the most valuable thing we posses.
