No Pain,No Gain

I couldn't agree with you more. I like to compare pain and struggle to a butterfly. When the caterpillar is in the cocoon, it has to push and struggle it's way out to turn into a beautiful butterfly. One time, there was a man who thought he would be helping the butterfly by pealing it out of the cocoon. He got it out, but the butterfly just flopped to the ground when he was done. Do you know why? Because the butterfly gains it's muscles for flying through its struggle to push its way out of the cocoon. I thought it was a really neat story to apply to this discussion because if we don't struggle some in life, we will never had the experience or the strength to make it through the next tough time we will experience in our lives. It's those experiences that make us who we are! I'm thankful for the pain even though I don't enjoy it when I'm going through it! Excellent discussion, my friend.

yes, I really like that saying, because without any efforts we can't achieve nothing in life. I really don't think that everybody gets the best opportunity just like sitting at home and doing nothing! well you are also right, because the pain is the factor which makes us realize that we are alive, that we feel and that we can be hurt by someone else!

true. the laws of reality just won't work without suffering and pain being included in peoples' lives. i think pain is the greatest teacher and it could give the best rewards in the end. and until such time we are able to accept the fact that pain is an important and is actually a part of life, we will never be able to appreciate its good side.

Yes i agree with you. There is no gain without pain. Everybody has to pass through this painful process. One advantage is that i helps a person to know his or her weakness and learn a lot from mistakes.

What does not kill us make us stronger. If you have experience lots of pain in your life you will be stronger by the day. After surviving pain you will be stronger. Maybe not physically but mentally and emotionally
