Pain will always hide from us, and be potentially ever present

Why for every happy soul, there’s a sad one? Why does pleasure attract pain, and pain attract pleasure? Why does, for instance, life contain within itself pleasure, but also pain to counteract this pleasure? Why do I realize this truth, and why is it true? Like the clash of a warm front with a cold front brings about winds, the clash of pleasure with anger produces physical and/or mental pain?! Pain is ever present, no matter how much we try to escape it, and perhaps we will some day figure out, that pleasure doesn’t come freely...some have lived lives of pleasure, while others lives of pain. It’s excruciating when one thinks to him/herself that this is so, that this life is so injust but yet some still believe that there will be redemption, perhaps in an afterlife. And because pain is potentially ever present, we cannot eliminate it, nor can we escape it. And our answer has been to try and either hide from it, or escape it, seeking out ways that favor our own pleasure, but never realizing that while the pain is in a sense gone, it’s potential pain that exists as long as we are alive...
