Pleasure and sadness.

Many people say that the two things are very different and even very much difference. Because pleasure makes us feel comfortable while sadness makes us feel pain. But I do not think so. I think both of them are the same thing, because they arise from the overflowing of one's emotions. You could say both are from the same source.

But that is still not acceptable just because their origin is the same does not mean they are the same. That's right, I also won't deny that. Even so they are still attached to each other. Both of them make humans feel life. You can imagine if you don't have both. I'm pretty sure that you will only feel empty.

In addition, pleasure and sadness can both change the way and principles of one's life. For example, someone who is always happy being pampered can never go further because of it before he feels lost. And someone who only feels sadness in his life will continue to be pessimistic before he gets hope and that hope arises because he sees the pleasure of others and wants the same thing to happen to him.

This is like sheer nonsense to me, but I'm still sure of that. The nature of the two are different, but they are interdependent. And if you have felt both, I think you will understand the meaning of life. For me life is a time when I can feel those two things and pass through without giving up. Because when we give up, everything will be chaotic and your life will be empty. But if you can get back up, it will be good but it's a bit annoying because you have to start all over again.

It was the contents of a piece of paper tucked into the book I was reading. Maybe my friend lent me this book, or maybe someone else. But I also don't really care. This paper is clearly just nonsense I thought.

"Is that interesting?"

That's what my friend said when I read the sheet of paper.

"I don't understand what that means." I replied.

"In that case. What do you think about that sadness? "

That's what he said to me, but I was confused about how to answer it.

"It seems that it is an emotion that arises when someone loses something valuable to him or because he already feels helpless and down."

"So why does there have to be sadness? Isn't it good if we can only feel happy? "He continued to ask.

Actually I also want to know the answer.

I also felt sadness, even now I still can't get out of the circle and just keep running away without direction.

"Do you know the answer?" Continued my friend.

"I've thought about it a lot but never found the right reason."

"The paper was written that pleasure and sadness are interrelated."

"That's bullshit." I confirmed.

"What's your reason for saying that?"

"I have no idea."

"That's not bullshit, it's just that you don't want to accept it. There it is said that a person sometimes has to face sadness to get pleasure. I think that's what makes life interesting. Am I wrong?"

"I do not know. We cannot prove it. "

"You just need to think about it for a moment. No more than that."

"I won't be satisfied with just that."

Looks like I became interested in proving that. I thought of somewhere, maybe there I could see for myself.
