Summary:碩士 === 東吳大學 === 社會工作學系 === 93 === Abstract The topic of the thesis is “I feel hurt so that I exist.” I start from my own observation through my life experience, my faith toward social work, and anything I learned from it. Many stories I mentioned actually happened in my life. Some are my personal going through events while some are not. But those stories still make me feel hurt even they didn’t happen to me. Cause the ones I have not personally gone through are not “others’” stories, but “our” stories. It does not matter whether they are “my” stories or “our” stories since they could happen in everyone’s life in the past, currently, or in the near future. Then I figured out when I was reviewing those stories again and tried to understand their meanings, I can somehow face myself or people around my more easily, including those people who need our help. Most people will try to stay away from the feeling of getting hurt. However, as being a social worker, I have to face others’ problems, including their painful feelings. Is it a fortune? It depend on our wisdom and what we choose. In my life, the painful experience mostly comes from something I would like to hang in there. No matter the outcome is good or bad, it will make me feel painful anyway. However, it lets me clearly feel my own existence. “I feel hurt so that I exist.” Through the painful experience, I touch down my inner ego deeply in my heart. And the way to get rid of the painful feeling is trying to understand the ego, to know how it is affected by the whole society, either in the way of compromise or opposition. Through the way of understanding myself, I could better understand how the society has the influence on me, and then at the same time, it also provides me a good way to understand the party’s problems.
