"its better to feel pain, then nothing at all"

"its better to feel pain, then nothing at all"

- mumford & sons

the first time i heard that i thought like,
"oh really, why someone would rather to feel pain than nothing, pain is hurt".
but of course like they said, as we grow old we're become more mature.
we understand what we didn't before.

yes, pain is hurt. but because we've already felt how the pain feels like,
we'll become more grateful when we feel the happiness after that. we'll appreciate more.

what is happiness without sadness? none. life would be so flat. and boring.
