Joy and Pain
Joy Cannot Exist Without Pain “It is always by way of pain one arrives at pleasure”-Marquis de Sade. This quote describes life and the obstacles throughout it. The people who have been through the most pain truly know what joy is. A lot of people go through struggles and pain at more than one point of their life. For some people, it is more enduring than others. However, everybody must suffer some sort of pain and must struggle at some point in their life in order to truly experience joy and happiness. Joy cannot exist without pain because pain makes you grateful for joy, you have to endure pain and pain and joy are the some of the most significant things in life. When one has gone through pain and difficult times in their life and things do get better, they realize they have obtained joy and appreciate this delightful feeling. The movie, Pursuit of Happyness, shows how thankful someone is for joy after vast amounts of suffering. The actor goes through a fight through poverty for a fair amount of time with his baby son. One day, something good finally happens and the man becomes rich. Even if you feel like giving up, there will always be something which will hold you together, in this case it was the man's baby son. When the man became wealthy, he did not take it for granted, instead he appreciated what happened and was truly happy and thankful. No matter how hard things might get, it is just another obstacle in life which you have to fight. You will be blessed with joy after the pain strikes you. Once things become better, do not take it be cocky about it, but be thankful for those times. Whether you believe it or not, truly happy people have been through large amounts of pain. The people who have gone through a hard times appreciate joy the most because they know how precious happiness is. A friend of mine lost her mum from cancer about two years ago.
