ā€œThe greatest evil is physical pain.ā€

Saint Augustine was the bishop of Hippo (now known as Annaba, Algeria) from 396 to 430.

Personally, I tend to agree with that quote more often than I care to think. But after a recent spending spree, this tee shirt says it betteršŸ¤£.

Currently available from Amazon priced at Ā£17.49.

But whilst St. Augustine was right in what was said, my attempt to introduce some light-hearted humor into dealing with constant pain is simply what is known as, ā€˜positive use of a mental defense mechanism.ā€™

Humor after all, is very effective in reducing your level of stress, that daily life can unswervingly chuck at youā€¦

Like many, Iā€™ve been through the mill when it comes down to accidents and illness.
