The Philippines does not look that bad when you are viewing it from the top to the ground. 

The law of conservation of energy states that, enery is neither created nor destroyed.  Hence, it is expected that the input is equal to the output.  On the other hand, usually during laboratory activities, when 'something' is being measured from the input is does not follow that the output is exactly the same with the input.  As an explanation to prove the validity of the law, it is said that no energy is loss but it is converted into a different form of enery.  I believe that this law does not only work for energy.  The same is true with pain. 

As I peruse the nature of pain, I realize that the pain never goes away.  But if that is the case, then everybody would be miserable.  Yet, despite of the fact that everybody experiences pain, not everyone is being tormented by the thought of it.  This is because, the pain becomes something else - maybe it is taken as an inspiration (its new form).  A concrete example is a child being looked down by her own relatives because of her family's status.  Her relatives have created a stigma to her memory which is painful, and it torments her when someone would remind her that or if she remembers it.  However, pain cannot continue to dwell when she will take it as a challenge and make this as something else that will fuel her to be better.  Although, I personally believe that to achieve something out of hidden hatred or what-not is not good.  But I would rather be fueled by it than to remain in self pity.  My point is, one should not allow pain to continue to agonize him/her. 

When a voltage (electrical potential energy) passes through two series resistors, the voltage is divided.  In relation to pain, when it is shared it becomes bearable.  The pain did not dissipate in one way or another.  Considering division of work, it would be difficult if only one person is working in a group.  Responsibility is burdensome and it becomes painful when no one is willing to take part.  But if everybody shares a bit of it, it becomes enduring. This is one of the reasons why it is condemning to see selfish people or a person not willing to help.  Even though, one would argue that to help is not obligatory, it is a social imperative because each and everyone is living in a society.  If a particular person denies his/her responsibility to help, then maybe s/he should live in his/her island.

Sometimes, it is necessary to create relationships and links to existing laws - whether in science, philosophy or anything in general.  There are things that people already know but to busy to care about.
