I’ve been thinking about why every person, at some points in their lives, must experience pain and sadness. Everyone have bad days, bad weeks or even bad years. It is not possible to live a life without experiencing some sort of pain from time to time. This seem to be one of the unchangeable laws of nature.  

Why we need to feel pain
Every time someone breaks your heart.
Everytime you loose a friend.
Everytime a loved one dies.

Everytime you feel sadness or pain there is a purpose.

The purpose is this:
How would we know what it is like to feel happy if we didn’t know what it is like to feel sad? It feels a thousand times better to be a winner if you have first experienced what it is like to be a looser. It is called contrast. To be fully able to embrace a feeling, we need to know what the opposite is like.

This doesn’t mean that we have to feel sad as often as we feel great. Is just mean that we need to experience both sides of it. How else could we understand what the other is?

The next time you hit rock bottom, just think about how good it will feel when things turn around. And work hard to get back on top.

It is the greatest feeling in the world!
