This Life Long Baggage . . . .

I was thinking about that bad bad feeling inside. You know the one - when you hurt inside so much that you feel it physically. Some people describe it as a deep ache or pain located in the chest or stomach. Others characterize it as a profound feeling of emptiness. I've heard some describe it as a sensation that something is blocking their throat or feels lodged in their chest. Most people have a very clear picture of where it is located in the body. But, however it's defined, we don't like it and we very much want it to go away.
