Life is About Pain and Pleasure.

As individuals, our lives are like that of a magnet. A magnet is never complete without a combination of the negative and the positive polarities. So also can a human life never get fulfilled without an exposure to the reality of pain and pleasure. Pain is the harbinger of wisdom while pleasure serves as its reward. As the saying goes, "No pain, no gain". Some people go in the pursuit of a reward at the exclusion of an initial pain and they do this through superficial means. Sadly though, such "rewards" come with fatal consequences.
