Pain
"It is cruel to wish pain upon someone, but crueller still to wish for them no pain."
I was thinking about that quote. Is it true? Because there are no guarentees in this world that you will get through it without pain or without problem. But would it be a good thing if you could, truly, get through the world with no adversity or struggle? Something just seems inherantly wrong to me about that, but I can't put my finger on it. Because through pain, you learn and grow. Without pain, there is much you would not experience. But what is the benefit of that experience? We'll die anyway. So what's so great about experience if you're going to lose it? I guess I'm bordering on debating the sanctity of life here, and I don't want to do that. What does everyone else think about that quote?
