God gave us pain to remind us we are alive, so we will learn to value the joys and beauty of the world.

No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.

Pain is love and love is pain.

Wisdom is nothing more than healed pain.

Pain and pleasure like light and darkness, succeed each other.

The pain is there to remind me that I'm still alive.

If you aren't in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret.
