that there is almost always a negative aspect with every positive aspect in life? For instance:

You eat a piece of chocolate cake.
+Positive: It tastes delicious and can put you in a good mood
-Negative: You just ate like 18 grams of fat.

You choose not to do your homework.
+Postive: You have more free time to do whatever you choose.
-Negative: Your grades flop.

You decide to vacation to Europe.
+Positive: It will be an awesome experience and you'll have the time of your life.
-Negative: It will be very costly.

You turn on a light.
+Positive: You can see things.
-Negative: You're using energy-something that the world is working on right now.

Do you see what I mean? It's not like that all the time, but for just about every positive thing there will usually be a negative. Doesn't it stink how it works that way?

If you could have everything you wanted, you'd get bored.

It would be like pleasure without pain or joy without sorrow.

If you have pleasure without pain, then you aren't feeling anything, because you've never felt pain before and therefore won't know what true pleasure feels like until you've experienced pain.

If you have joy without sorrow, then you'll always be sorrowful, because there will be nothing to be joyful about!

It's action and reaction...cause and effect...ying and yang...
You eat the cake cause you like it but you take responsibillity at the same time for the fat you get.
You make a choice and that's always good!
If the cake was delicious and had 0 calories you'd be able to eat so much cake that in the end you'd get sick of it.
This way whenever you commit a little "sin"...it feels sooooo good!:-)

yes.. but thats just life. I try to look more @ the positive things.. so that way my life doesn't seem so negative.

ooooh and thinking positive is way better than thinking negative, that way you attract positive things instead of negative.

Yes for every action there is a reaction whether it is good or not. My science told me that in 8th grade and I thought he was full of it. Unfortuantely I had to learn the hard way as I got older.

You just explained the duality of the universe. A very thoughtful question. Why not post it in Philosophy?

In your examples thats true. But you have to take the good with the bad and determine if its worth it.

With the exception of breathing, there is never anything that is 100% good.

You have sex.
Positive: Feels good
Negative: Nothing, well maybe a few hard orgasmic farts, if you're doggying style.

Yeah, and another thing; When you try to get close to God, the devil takes a bigger intrest in you.
