The problem of pain and suffering is probably the most difficult for any believer to come to terms with.

The answer is because we created it. Adam made the choice to sin, and through him sin, death and suffering entered our world. Satan is the father of lies, and deceived Adam into believing that he could not just be One with God, as we were initially created, but that he could be God through eating of the Tree of Knowledge. This original sin of Adams' tarnished our entire people, and we became fallen.

God, however, gave a sacrifice of Himself to allow for our sin to be vanquished once.

All of us have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. But God treats us much better than we deserve, and because of Christ Jesus, he freely accepts us and sets us free from our sins. God sent Christ to be our sacrifice. Christ offered his life’s blood, so that by faith in him we could come to God. And God did this to show that in the past he was right to be patient and forgive sinners. - Romans 3:23-26

I'll always take the opportunity to recommend Allen Carrs Easyway to stop smoking when a smoking related thread pops up. I know it sounds like I'm a shill but I don't mind, download it for free if you want. I quit a 10 year habit of 20 a day with it. And it was genuinely not hard despite previously held belief that it would be a monumental test of willpower. It doesn't patronise you or tell you how bad for health smoking is, because everyone already knows that. It helps unravel the ways in which you have tied the addiction to every part of life. "nice with morning coffee" "nice after a meal" etc. You have nothing to lose by reading it.

I found his novel. You can read some of the first pages they are pretty great first sentences below.

>It was three years ago that Sael and Daz entered the war.
>"Daz slow down!" Sael called to Daz as he ran outside the university and down the cobblestone bridge.

Those compression tights aren’t the most affordable things in the world

Especially if you wear them everyday, all day, you’ll need more than one set. :/

The lymph massages however are something a person can learn to do from online.

Lol I actually have old notes from college about this. Basically, there are two primary theories surrounding catharsis:

​

  • Catharsis Theory (Hydraulic model of anger) - if people bottle up their negative emotions, it will eventually cause them to explode out in aggressive rage. Therefore, venting anger will produce a positive improvement in one’s psychological state.
  • Cognitive neoassociation theory - aversive events ) are linked together in memory to form a network of emotional reactions related to violence. Therefore, venting should increase rather than decrease angry feelings and behaviors. If the individual is inducted to think about something else, their anger will dissipate in time.

    To figure out which one of these theories was correct, some researchers set up the following experiment:

    ​

  • Three groups of people were deliberately provoked in the same way - they were told to write an essay about a subject that was close to them (e.g. death penalty, abortion, etc.) and then were given a "partner's" essay to grade. Their 'partner' supposedly read their paper and graded it, but the 'partner' wrote deliberately inflammatory comments - this paper was the worst thing I've ever read, whoever wrote this has no idea what they were talking about.
  • Afterwards, the subjects went into three different rooms.
  • The 'rumination' group subjects were shown what their "essay partner" looked like (which was actually a picture of some random dude) and told to hit a punching bag for 15 minutes while thinking of their partner.
  • The 'distraction' group subjects were shown a photo of someone exercising and told to think of becoming physically fit while hitting a punching bag for 15 minutes.
  • The 'control' group was told to sit quietly by themselves for 15 minutes.
  • Afterwards, subjects were individually into another room. Every subject was told they were going to evaluate a random stranger's problem solving skills. The stranger was behind a two-way mirror and couldn't see the subject. The subject were told to play a loud sound in the stranger's ear if they got a problem wrong. The subjects could choose the duration and intensity of the noise.
  • Researchers found that the subjects who had been part of the 'rumination' group used higher intensity sounds for a longer period of time
  • Subjects who had been part of the 'control' group on average chose to punish the stranger with less intense sounds for a shorter period of time.

    Tldr; This particular experiment supports the 'Cognitive Neoassociation Theory' aka, the 'catharsis doesn't work theory'. You can find the experiment in Readings About the Social Animal. It was probably my favorite sociology book in college.
