Pain Is Caused By Pleasure

Searching for nothing
Wondering if I’ll change
I’m trying everything
But everything still stays the same
I thought if I showed you I could fly
Wouldn’t need anyone by my side
I'm running backwards
With broken wings I know I’ll die

I'm not the one who's so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins.
Never did I wanna be here again,
And I don't remember why I came.

The Puritan hated bear-baiting not because it gave pain to the bear, but because it gave pleasure to the spectators

In pain you can be more meditative than in pleasure.”

It is always by way of pain one arrives at pleasure.
