Pain and Pleasure

**Specforces** · 03-24-2004, 06:26 AM

My question is, does the amount of pain you experience have any influence on the amount of pleasure that you experience? It would be impossible to know what pleasure is without first experiencing some form of pain. So does that mean that if you have many hardships and lots of pain that your life will also be filled with joy and happiness? Or will your suffering cause you to have a negative, pessimistic outlook on life? Also, do your personal experiences with pain and pleasure give you insight as to other's emotions? And if you had a relatively simply and easy life, would this make you less sympathetic towards other's problems?
