There is pain in life. You can't be alive without feeling some kind
of pain. There are a number of movie quotes that point out how pain
is often a good sign. Because "it means you're still alive." Most
people wonder why there is so much pain in the world. They try to
look for a cause, something to blame the pain on. As if the existance
of pain in the world is a malfunction, a glitch, an inherent error in
the design of the world. They think that if the world were perfect,
there would be no pain. When people ask "why", they are too often
looking for a scape goat to throw their anger at. What they need to
be think about more often is, "what purpose does it serve?" Pain
serves a purpose. Its existance in the world is not a flaw. It was
designed into life for a reason. And when you see pain, or death, try
to remember how good it is that there ever was joy, and life. Because
a life with pain is better than if there was never life at all. Of
course not all the pain in the world is neccessary. A great deal of
it is the result of other people being selfish and self-centered.But
that is a whole nother topic.

Oh, by the way. This has absolutely nothing to do with anything going
on in my life right now. It is just an idea that I had while watching
tv.
