It's a beautiful and graphic character composed of a knife (刀) cutting the heart (心)... conjure that image in your mind, and imagine how painful that must be.
忍...
One single character that describes and encompasses tolerance, endurance, resistance, bearing with pain and suffering, restraining yourself and your emotions.
忍...
However much it hurts, however unbearable the pain is, bear with it. Grit your teeth, close your eyes, watch the pain, let the pain seep through your senses, let the pain take over, grow and fade away...
It will soon be over.
Soon everything will be over.

"忍" is one of my favourite characters also...to bear, to endure, to tolerate...with heart.
