Ranj Se khugar huwa insaaN....
Few time ago, I was at Lake Lure in North Carolina. It is an interesting and a very beautiful place. While boating at lake our guide told us few interesting things like it is 'cross' shaped and there is a church and cemetery buried below the lake and local people said to hear church bells at night etc. but another interesting thing is that lake is only one and half feet for a while from beach/shore but later suddenly first dropped to 55 feet and than to 135 feet. He said: 'It scares people as we go further towards the middle of lake but I fail to understand as there is no difference after you are drowned more than 10 feet"!
So true! It reminded me of Mirza Ghalib: Mushkilain mujh per pari itni ke asaN ho gain.
All mighty has created human or rather all creatures' mind and soul unique in the sense that after a while pain and suffering gets plateau - or may be even bell-shapped. It has no linear relationship afterwards.

Sir! Once your body and/or soul is dead - nothing matters!!
I think, like Body has pain receptors, once the fired up to its full capacity they do not signal any more pain to brain. Same with the metaphysical “self” i.e “you”, do not feel any thing when it’s too much. “ Ho chuki galib sub aafatein tamam, Eik marg e nahani aur hai”.
after all research and advancement, we still do not know what are we?
As Amitabh famously said: "Ye jeena bhi koi jeena hai lallu"
اگچہ تم نے جو لکھا ہے اس سے وزن نہیں ٹوٹتا مگر میں نے یہ شعر یوں لکھا دیکھا ہے
'رنج سے خوگر ہوا انساں تو مٹ جاتا ہے رنج
مشکلیں اتنی پڑیں مجھ پر کہ آساں ہو گئیں'
Neurological explanation given by Anonymous is intriguing for me but I never thought of it because it takes away the beauty of that wonderful expression of chacha Ghalib.
Dear uncle, you are right...I checked in Ghalib's deewan....
I corrected it gar huwashould be Ranj se khu
