So many people didnt appreciate the true value of suffering-withougt suffering, how could a person every truly appreciate being alive in the first place? how could he or she know the beauty of no pain if tehre had been no experience, no true immersion, in agony? people took such things for granted and they fought pain with every ounce of strength that they had; instead they should have welcomed it, sought it out, and lived with it, day by day. to be without pain was to be without sensation, without feeling, and there was no wisdom in an existance like that.-
