"Pleasure is an interval between two pains. If you sit in an air-conditioned room, you will not really know its value unless you go out into the sun. So the value of pleasure is only known through pain. The value of light is known only by darkness. If every night is a full moon night, we will not know the value of moonlight. The value of life is known due to death. A mother will love the child and constantly worry about his safety. Why can't she be happy that the child is fine now may not be fine tomorrow. So there is nothing like either absolute pleasure or complete pain in life. Pain and pleasure come alternately."
(From the book "Divine Directions" by Prof. K. Anil Kumar)
