  This youtube link from Eckhart Tolle explains pain.

There are many other youtube videos which may speak more to you than books.

  This is a personal posting. Dancing to this works for me to clear strong emotion.

Words and music by Brian May

There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away
from us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever....?

There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?

Who dares to love forever?
When love must die

But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today

Who waits forever anyway?

  Pink Floyd - Time
  Ticking Away the moments (video at end)

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say

  Inuit throat singing
  Inuit women (eskimos) developed this throat singing. Two women sit face to face in simple embrace.

This is not posted as a spectacle, but as an example of a different culture. It must be an intense experience, sitting opposite someone, holding arms and making eye contact for any length of time like this.

This gives a better example of the raw power of it.
