In the Universe, just like there is no absolute good, bad or ugly person – similarly, there is no absolute good or bad experiences

In different contexts even pleasurable experiences can start to be painful & vice-versa. Especially, when indulged in excesses, the line of transition between pain & pleasure can be blurred & often seamless

Mankutimma, it is but natural for man to seek & then indulge in experiences that excite his senses & give him pleasure. Initially, all seems well & he is happily revelling in these. As one starts to become addicted to this, soon it becomes boring & later, even painful…If you don’t experience it, it is still agony – if you indulge in it, the agony only escalates…it is like touching a poison ivy – you scratch & you develop rashes; if you don’t scratch, it is pain. Human life has been designed to be this way…this in some sense is a check & balance mechanism built in by the Creator to prevent man indulging in excesses.
