Pain can be overcomed!

 Pain in my life:


As I reflect I think of all the pain I have went through in my life.
Some of this pain is from what bad I have done, some is from not having a proper diet, and other pain was unavoidable.

The pain that was unavoidable was caused from an accident on the ship.
The accident itself could have been avoided all together, however.
If the cabnet was properly being moved, the proper equipment was used,
and if was properly bolted. My pleas were ignored, and I was caught in the middle.

Now I deal with much pain and tingling because of it.
I have head rushes and an imbalance.

I still deal with emotional pain from the bad I have done
and from things that I have seen.

While in the Navy I have seen many bad things around the world,
I have seen people living in slums,
I have seen children with no clothes in poor countries,
I have  abuse, violance, and things that haunt my dreams.

Some of these things are:
My first combat with the Battleship New Jersey BB-62
where we fired 276 rounds at Lebenon.
 When I worked on the boarding team from 1994-1996,
boarding drug boats and catching human traffickers. 
When I saw those abused, naked, little girls crammed in a cargo hold,
to be sold as sex slaves, it sickened my stomach.
The war on Terroism in 2004,
were I saw many people getting killed,
while working with the security team.

There is also much bad that I have done,
bad in which I hope god will forgive me.

To overcome this pain,
I meditate,
I pray,
I do right by helping others,
I take prescriptions from the VA,
but most importantly I eat a proper diet.

Since I cut down my red meat,
I have been more energitc,
I feel less pain,
and I lost wieght.

I hope this has inspired someone out there,
those that have simular issues they faced.

Take Care and God Bless!
