No pain, no gain
By Charles Cirtwell
It is a well accepted truism in almost every aspect of human existence: "no pain, no gain". We apply that to our efforts at personal development, physical fitness and even to the raising of our children. A little pain now is seen as the price to pay for a lot of benefit later. We also accept that a little pain now will often communicate the lesson to be learned far more permanently in our psyche than just being told that the iron is hot or that your tongue will stick to cold metal.
Yet, there is one area of human endeavour where we do not apply this rule. Note, I did not say it is inapplicable, I said we do not apply it. Or at least we do not apply it here in Atlantic Canada.
