Published on September 21, 2021, Ekoroi's thought-provoking piece explores the complex relationship between pain and beauty.
Pain is what makes life worthy, and it's the pain inside that transforms us, in remembrance of all pains. This profound realization is at the heart of Ekoroi's reflection on the human experience.
When we pray for others, it's not something external that changes them, but rather the pain they've endured that transforms them. This pain is a reminder of the millions of experiences that have shaped us since time began.
The numbness to repeated pain is a strange kind of award, a victory of the gods that can leave us feeling bored and disconnected from the world around us.
Yet, pain is also beautiful, a catalyst for growth and enlightenment. It's a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is always the potential for transformation and renewal.
As Ekoroi so eloquently puts it, 'Heaven is full of pain.' This poignant statement challenges us to rethink our assumptions about the nature of pain and its relationship to beauty.
