Pain and happiness
Pain is basically opposite to pleasure, not to happiness. Being happy may include, in many moments, discomfort such as the disciplined effort to study, to work on the less satisfactory aspects of our professional occupations, on the process of interpersonal or intrapersonal conflicts.
Being happy starts with being in peace; unfolds with meeting one’s obligations; ends with the realization of one’s vocational impulses, which are very personal, non-transferable; unique, singular obligations that, when met, fulfill the individual within the context of the evolutionary stage he is in.
