    pain does not exist because it is a prerequisite to wonder

    it is not!

    pain and wonder and everything inbetween exist
    because they are gifts of diversity being the nature of existence
    whether we want it to be or not

    (the moral implication being the only thing we contribute to
    by adding to whatever pain already exists is an increased
    likelyhood of experiencing it ourselves)

    Pain sux0rz. Pain is not a gift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 What the hell are you on?
    It's the result of not being in the ideal conditions, our physiology make us feel pain because it's not ideal for survival (the situation).

    don't people create and manipulate negative if the think it's a necessity of the positive , as a belief , like you gotta pay your dues to play the blues . there's a true root of it , of courage and survival , then , there can evolve an artificial and even institutionalized continuance of suffering .... war can be that way .

    There is pain that is the prequisit to wonder, and that is when you face up to harsh truths and experience pain in the facing up. Once we have broken through the resistance then we are liberated in the truth.

    This is the sort of pain that is experienced when the shell that hides our understanding is broken.

    Blessings

    He is speaking of emotional pain, I think, and you, of physical pain.

    Pain has been a major part of my learning experience, and it seems to be there whenever I need to learn something new.

    trust me, man, some of us go through a living hell, and grow up real fast.
    the last thing they want is a continuation, though i will grant that some find it hard to let go, and live without it.
