To better understand the relationship between pain healing and PIG IN A POKE, a postscript is beneficial:
What does a pig in a push mean?
The expression pig in a shove refers to a trusty trick that originated in Europe in the late Middle Ages, when meat was scarce, but cats and dogs were not. The scheme involved the sale of an unopened poke (bag) that would actually contain a cat or dog, which was substantially less valuable as a source of meat than a pig. The idiom or saying implies that if a pig is bought when it is in a poke or bag, something is sold or bought without the buyer knowing its true nature or value, especially when it is purchased without inspecting the item beforehand. A pig in a shove is something that you get without first looking at it well, literally or figuratively. A pig that is in a shove may turn out not to be a pig at all. The phrase can also be applied to the acceptance of an idea or plan without a complete understanding of its basis.
Horrendous grief and loss:
Grief events can cause a lack of clarity and result in a complex misperception; such that you may discover that your pain and loss may seem like a pig and a shove. You may feel that your pig in a shove (your pain) was obtained without first having a good look at it, but it requires you to accept your pain and loss without full understanding.
Your lowest value condition:
You may not want a dog or a cat. You also don’t want a deck of dueling cards that deals the dueling hand you have now. You may feel that the dueling merchant has dealt from the bottom of the deck and has tried to cheat by substituting a wish of lesser value. There may be confusion and uncertainty. Healing can be blurry. You can doubt yourself.
“A person who doubts himself is like a man who enlists himself in the ranks of his enemies and takes up arms against himself.” ~ Alexandre Dumas
Unexpected unwanted grief events don’t always take over you, they often come with the speed of lightning. The curative solutions may not be clear. How to stop grieving and begin to heal can be vague and unclear. His excruciating pain has made him feel like he is in an underrated condition.
Leaving your cat out of the bag:
In the past, it was common for small farmers to put a pig in a cloth sack to take to market and sell. A poke is a sack that is still used in various English-speaking places, including Scotland and some regions of the United States.
Letting your grief and loss subside and hope for healing magnified is a much desired accomplishment. Although he has not voluntarily bought a grieving cat in a bag, yet he has been given sadness in his life bag. An optimistic warning is not to ‘buy a sadness cat’, but your horrendous grief that is happening has wanted you to do so. The healing steps can be discovered by letting the cat out of the bag, preventing pain from controlling its inner self. This should be your way of thinking. The complaint never ends; Change. It is a passage of time, not a place to stay. Pain is not a lack of faith or a sign of weakness. It is the price of living the circumstances of life.
Your healing solution may well be to “get the cat out of the bag” and reveal hope, peace, and healing. At all times, embrace all positive social media, technology, the Internet, and all other beneficial and essential resource solutions that are available. A terrible and unexpected injury should not control how you recover. Your grieving condition should not be what determines your worth. Overcoming despair, grief, and loss should be your top priority. Letting your grieving cat out of your pain bag depends on how you act to experience lasting peace and happiness.
Consider today a new day. Many sixteen. Many will live to the fullest today. Why not you!
