"Sometimes you need to feel pain to have a firm grasp of reality because life is not just about one's happiness but sometimes it's also about one's pain."

But what if we do not WANT to have a firm grasp of reality?

@hexeduser22 I am glad that you said that, because if you didn't, then I was just going to have to ignore your suggestion and go do what I liked anyway.

@vandana7 It is possible, yes, but somehow I can't imagine being in that state... having to feel nothing.. no pain nor happiness.. that's just sad..

Yes, I agree... If you can refuse both pain and happiness then things will look and feel unreal

We all have to suck it up when we are in pain and we all need to make the most out of it when we are happy

I had so much grasp of reality now because my life is full of pain. Emotional pain, Spiritual pain and even literal pain but those things never pull me down. I am fighting to reach my dreams.

Hi once again, Mr. Umbrella corp! I admire your attitude... I'm pretty sure once you overcome those pain every happy moment is worth it

I agree with you on this, Anna. Of course, we do not want the pain, but I don't think that we would be able to truly appreciate the happiness and good times if we did not have pain and sadness as well. Life is a balance, and hopefully the good things balance out the bad.

Some people think happiness is the only thing that matters...remembering how one overcame the pain makes the happy moment more fulfilling

@purplealabaster I also do not like pain and sad moments, but I realize how much more I appreciate the little things of life when I just come out from a difficult moment.

It also open our eyes to see what is really going on around us

I don't know much about some one's pain because they never shared it with me. I was never the type of person people like to share their secrets to.

yes, you do really miss out on some things because without pain everything would look easy and not worth it... until such time that you don't get to feel the excitement anymore of doing something new
