RE: Always the way

in #health6 years ago

The human condition is not one designed for pleasure, it is engineered for overcoming pain.

These are deep words and I can totally relate with the sentiment. I agree that we are built to battle pain not to enjoy pleasure. But then again, even pain has to take a break sometime for the human being to rest before resuming another round of battles. Can we not find beauty and pleasure in those short minutes, those few seconds?

I hope to read you complaining about steem again soon. I wish you and your family all the best and for your daughter the strength to overcome the pain and find the little pieces of pleasure that life has to offer.

I think the pleasure might only have meaning if there has been an overcoming to reach it. Our entire nervous system is set to respond to physical danger and hijacking it too often for pleasure might upset the indicators.
