Pain

A man gets shot in the chest. It hurts so much and the blood won't stop. He lives, but he suffered.

A woman gives birth to a child. Her labour lasts over two days. Never has she been more tired.

A boy nearly drowns. No more air. His lungs are on fire. He gets out and is in shock. He couldn't breath.

A girl is called names. They tell her faults that don't even exist. She starts to believe them. Her heart hurts; she is suffering. What is the point of life? She's so tired. There is no where to run, no where to hide. There is no space; she can't breath.
But surely not such simple things as words could hurt anyone, right?

What is worse?

All of them can kill you. Taking a bullet, giving birth, being under water for long, and careless words.

What is the worst pain?
