today i can be sad and wonder why do roses have thorns. Sometimes the right thing to.do hurts the most. The ones who seem like they have it all together are the ones who may need the compass the most. Pain is beauty, it enriches our lives imensly, it makes love stronger, it compels us to do insane things when tough times call for desperate measures. Imagine a world with no pain. No suffering. It wouldnt seem real, some might say boring, we would take pleasure for granted. We would be weak and lack character
We would parish as a key survival mechanism disappears. In a perfect world we would be bored stiff as we would be satisfied and would lack any desire to fullfill needs. We would all agree without pain. We would all be the same and boring. We would not fall in love. We would not experience the thrill of being surprised or the need for a relaxing massage at the end of a hard day. our lives would be meaningless, as there would be nothing to achieve nothing accomploshed, nothing lost and nothing gained. Would we even cry tears of joy?
This my friends is not life. We.would all be fake happy robots. We wouldnt have the joys of getting back up after falling.
If life had no pain and work we woudnt need to learn and we wouldnt have freedom of thought, we couldnt touch our loved ones with a beautiful song, we couldnt wipe away a childs tears. We’d have essential nothing to share together. No individuality. The value of love would be worthless, we couldnpare strengths and bond while helping one anothers weaknesses. Without pain everything would be fair and there would be no competition, nothing to strive for, no jaw dropping talents,no moments that take your breath away. Everymoment would be the same and it couldnt get better no matter what.
No past mistakes to laugh at. Nothing to reflect on. no mome t greater than the last no anticipation. No mystery of what tomorrow might bring. No choice to make. No right or wrong.
No growth. No hardships to share, which makes for lack of human connected.
We would ever have true happiness but we will have will emotion. Good times and badtimes, and then times that make it all worth while. Life equals pain and pain equals joy.
So Today I can be glad that thorns have roses.
