"Life consists of a constant interchange of pleasures and pain, joy and sorrow, heat and cold. Happiness is an interval between two pains. The bitter rind that covers an orange protects the sweet juice inside. We must look upon pain, anxiety and sorrow as the protecting cover for the peace and bliss that is experienced later. It is a mistake to seek an unending series of pleasures and comforts in life. Real happiness cannot be found that way. Without experiencing difficulties and troubles, one cannot know the value of peace and pleasure."
