I'm not feeling any pain and most of the people I see don't appear to be
feeling any pain. Pain must have a cause; I do not believe it is the
natural 'resting' state of most beings. Your poem indicates no cause
for your pain so how can anyone (who doesn't know you personally) relate
to it? Last I'd heard, everything in your life was just growing more
and more fascinating every moment!
