4. I thought bliss meant pure unadulterated happiness, like

ecstasy or delight. Could be a strange denomination thing. I dunno. In that case, I'm definitely not blissed or blessed. However, I am,at the moment, blistered. Woke up for the fifth straight day with a headache from hell. I considered self trepanation, but decided to load up on pain pills instead. I am no longer even sure if I have a head, much less a headache. Aaah.

5. pain, is a form of change

that bliss can never happen to a person that lives in a world of consumerism

Pain, they say is a catalysis to change us inconspicuousness into conciseness

Is that the loss of love, or a life, one can make you see what it means to you
the grief of a personal consciousness that one may have
is a change of a paradign to some,

it is not that pain helps us reach consciousness
but pleasure, which is rare
gives a substance or not to change.

that is why i shop at Wal-Mart

NOt me.
