Words of Wisdom

There are many things in life that need to be understood. There are many concepts of life that are troubling to many. There are some things I have learned in life. One is this: All of life is a balance of opposites, and without one, the other cannot exist. Without good there is no evil. Likewise, without evil there is no good. Without pleasure, there is no pain, but without pain, no pleasure. Without hell, no heaven and without heaven, no hell. You may ask yourself why this must be so. It is because every feeling experienced is a comparison of the past. If pain is not felt, the presence of pleasure will not occur because there is no pain to compare it too. That is why what some consider pain, is pleasure to another and vice versa. In this way, sometimes pain is a blessing. Without pain, pleasureful things would not seem pleasureful.
