Why do times that we feel some sadness in life or shall we say a pain? Do you think that pain is the part of life that we need to experience so that we can be more stronger in our life? Do you think that we should experience more pain so that we can achieve what our life purpose? Or else we should be happy even if we are in pain? What makes our life could be happy without pain? is that the correct answer to make us an achiever in life or we should be patient and be ourself to be happy in pain?

I read it once in the bible that pain gain perseverance and in life you need to persevere to gain success.Pain is normal to us people because we are still here on earth.But in every pain that we experience we gain knowledge and are aware and cautious not to do the same mistakes again.Be thankful that you still feel pain because it means that you know how to love,to care be afraid if you don't meaning it's something else.

Do you mean that we need more pain to have more experience in life? So we just accept what is the pain we have even if it's really take your life? As i read in the article that "Pain is a signal that the body has been damaged or something is wrong." is this a pain that takes our perseverance?

In some ways yes.Like me if were talking about pain i am diagnose with papillary cell carcenoma (cancer) but still i am happy to accept it because God never gives trials that we cannot handle.If you want to be successful in the world that were living pain is always there it might be pain of being tired of pressure in work or in some other form.But sometimes we get too far and sometimes gamble our own lives just to get that goal.I hope i make sense.Thank you

Those are some good questions. My personal belief is that i dont think we could be happy without some type of pain in our life because without sadness we have nothing to measure the feeling of happiness. Its all a big circle, you know.

Exactly you are right. But what if all you been to your life is pain and no happiness at all. is this a measure of feeling of happiness? And how about i got happiness today and more sadness tomorrow is this still part of the big circle? i think there would in balance with this.

well first, i dont thinks there's like a balance of happiness and sadness in life. I think its all about the way you look at it. What if the pain and sadness that you say you've experienced actually is or will turn into happiness???
