What is the one truth you discovered through pain that joy could never have taught you?

@Renkon

Yes it is 😂

@SW-User Was an entertaining movie.

@Alisha233 True

@Alisha233

@Miram Damn girl you got me thinking deep again. But you are correct. We assign meaning to pain and joy and I myself see no association between the two except it's possible for the experience of one can wipe out the other.

@Miram Well, I'm totally confused, but I'm also super tired and not thinking at peak performance.

I think they sink in further with pain, but that's because people naturally remember pain more than not, which is not nessarily a good thing.

@Tumbleweed oh yes

@lonelyloner Wow, you must have gone through some eye-opening experiences to come to that conclusion. That must’ve been tough, huh?

@Renkon true that changed my life totally

@lonelyloner That is true in so many circumstances.

@Punxi I remember that line from a Zen story…it’s so true: “This too shall pass”

@Punxi Great answer!

@SW-User That’s deep thought.

@SW-User Absolutely, felt that one, great answer

@Simulation If only more people realized this earlier in life.

@Renkon It was a hard lesson to learn. I wished I could have learnt it earlier but the kid I was probably wouldn’t have listened back then. At least I’m glad I was eventually able to realize it.

@rinkydinkydoink Really?

@Renkon

Maybe I misread the post? There is zero joy in losing any family member let alone one or more younger than oneself. I lost a niece 2yrs ago and just found out her middle daughter of three died 2 weeks ago.

The truth being - any death will negatively impact any family.

@rinkydinkydoink wouldn’t blame you for feeling that way after your losses.
