Suffering May be The Anticipation

The hardest part of suffering may be the anticipation. You know how you felt the last time you had to go to the dentist to have a filling, or a tooth pulled. You sat in the waiting room imagining how much it was going to hurt, you could almost feel the prick of the needle as they froze your gums, and as you heard the sound of the drill coming from the office it was as if it was in your mouth. Your blood pressure went up, your palms got sweaty, your pulse increased. (Lou Nicholes - Missionary/Author).
