Can there be happiness without sadness? Pleasure without pain? Peace without war?
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

If happiness, pleasure and peace is all you know then you are in nirvana always.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and week. ♥
Would sure be nice to find out. I say YES there is!
ReplyDeleteVery deep question and a good one. I think they come hand in hand
ReplyDeleteThere can be, but if you have the bad, then you appreciate the good more, I think.
ReplyDeleteChange is what we notice. If things were always the same, we would never notice anything. The world seems to be changing from mostly peaceful, and mostly progressive to something otherwise. The pendulum swings.
ReplyDeleteI've heard you need some darkness to appreciate the light.
