My Mind's Made Up

Life is a continual journey where we are making discoveries. Wisdom reveals that we are constantly discovering things about ourselves. Everyday in life we face questions that require answers.

I wonder if the child cries because of the new environment they suddenly find themselves in. Is it not interesting that pain introduces joy? The travail of child birth soon becomes a joyous occasion where the pain is soon forgotten as the new born is celebrated. Dealing with the pains of life is a life long lesson. Interesting that we are born in pain and at death we deal with the pain of the loss suffered. The two ends of life are marked by pain.  Pain is a door to a new level of life.
