my life I have been through alot of rough times my parents went through a divorce about two years ago and that was really hard for me but i made it through it. Everyone goes through hard times in our lives and to appreciate the good ones we need these hard times. In this world pain and suffering is something every person will go through no matter how perfect you think you are hard times will come.To appreciate how good life really is these hard times are appropriate.
I think that there has to be pain and suffering in our lives and in the world. i think that because without pain life would be extremely boring and it would not be fun. and without suffering no body would be afraid of failing and there would be no risks taken. we need pain and suffering in the world because it brings the reality of life out and it brings us as a world together.
I think that pain and suffering plays a role in all of our lives. Even though having to deal with pain and going through difficult times in our lives is a very hard thing to do and I'm sure that if we could get rid of these feelings a bunch of people would; what most people don't understand is that by going through these tough times, it makes us stronger. How could someone experience and appreciate the good and happy times in life without going through the lows? To me I think a person must go through pain and suffering in order to truly know and understand the joy and happiness life has to offer.
In life, pain and difficulty is something that we all must live through. It’s apart of our everyday lives that demonstrates how strong we truly are. In The Giver the society knows no suffering or pain. Some might argue that this society is better than the one that we live in, yet it’s not. In The Giver, because the community knew no suffering, they never knew the highs in life either, like love and happiness. If we don’t ever suffer from an ultimate low then we never know that truly ultimate high in life either. The happiness that we experience is truly because we have also been through difficulties in our lives, too. It makes the world a better place. I have been through difficult times in my life, yet I think this has made me a stronger person, and more able to be happy when something great happens. In The Giver Jonas asks his parents if they love him. They have never experienced love and scold Jonas for not using precision of language. They tell Jonas that love is obsolete and not a word to be used. This community obviously doesn’t know love or happiness. There must be suffering in the world for someone to experience a true happiness.
Our economy is making us suffer, the war, death of a loved one. If we had no suffering we wouldn’t have feelings and experience the true meaning of happiness in this world. Jonas suffered shivers, extreme sunburns, extreme cold and pain. So if we didn’t experience those feelings how would we know what that emotion would be? We would be confused if you’re hurt you would know what pain is like walking on a broken leg and knowing the difference. It’s a part of living and learning as you go. my life has had its ups and down and i have learned tremendously what i have done and do regret what i have done. you got to learn and live and move on
In this world, we learn from pain. When we fall down and scratch our knees we make a note to be more careful when doing that certain activity. As we get older the pain and suffering gets different... We experience emotional pain. In some cases it is quite overwhelming and can change lives drastically. But when the pain is overcome you have learned something. You have an experience to shape your future for the better. As we go through pain and suffering, we learn how we can make things better and more functional. If there was no pain and suffering there would be no change. Without change there would be complete boredom.
Everything has a polar opposite. One of the many spectrums of life has happiness and joy, and on the other end of that scale we have pain and suffering. Without having these polar opposites to the things that make our lives so great, we wouldn't even know what good we were given. Without the hardship we wouldn't even realize how happy certain things make us. Happiness would become a steady and unchanging norm and eventually happiness would become boredom.
everyone suffers in some sort of way. unlike the comunity there are starving people in our country, there are people without homes who freeze at night. we all know what suffering is because we have gotten at least a small tast of it. but if you dont experiance pain and sufferage how will you learn to appriciate the great things in life? you cant...jonas and the giver were the only members of the comunity that knew how wonderfull love, warmth, and joy was because they experianced starvation, death, and cruelty. when jonas's father killed the newborn child he didnt feel grief or pain or anger, because he had no idea what any of it meant.
Pain and difficulty comes in our every day lives because we fail at certain things. Failure is a part of every ones lives and no one likes to fail. But when you do fail it brings a person pain and difficulty because you failed at what you where trying to accomplish. There must be suffering in the world because things need to balance like their needs to be a bad and their needs to be a good in things so everything works out in the end. So pain and difficulty comes in everyone’s life because everyone fails at something from time to time.
Pain and suffering is hard, but I just think about all the good things that come out of it. For example if someone I knew passes away, ya its going to be tough and sad, but I always look at the good times that ive had with them and just tell myself that physically they aren't here, but I know that they are still with me. It's not fun to go through, but everybody goes through it. In The Giver, nobody experiences that because they don't want people to freak out, but Jonas has been through it and he had a tough time when his father killed (released) the baby. Jonas could feel the pain for the baby. We don't know if Jonas's father knows that he is killing. I think that he is brainwashed because it didn't seem like it affected him. Also Im sure that the Giver went through pain when his daughter, Rosemary, signed up to be release because she didn't know what it really is, but the Giver knew. Pain and suffering in our world makes it normal. Its Reality
i think pain and suffering is there to remind us. If we had no pain or suffering we woudnt learn from our mistakes, and if there were no consequences, we would make the mistakes over and over again without changing, or correcting ourselves. Pain and suffering can come in many different forms, whether its family problems, or death of a loved one. It comes in both physical and emotional pain. We all suffer from things in our lives. Its what we have in commen.
Each and everyone of us in this world have felt the stabbing feeling of pain and suffering. This isnt something we as humans like to feel, we like feeling happy and loving. But pain is something we need to feel. If we didnt feel pain than our happiness would have no value. When tradgedy strikes, you obviously feel horribly depressed. When things start looking up and you feel happy than you tend to appreciate it more. If someone is happy all the time than the will start to take it for granite. In the book The Giver , Jonas recieves a memory of joy and love. He has never felt those feelings before so they are somewhat close to amazing. If you dont ever feel anything than you are given the chance to feel happiness you will appreciate it strongly. -jenn
If we didn't have suffering there wouldn't be the opportunity of feeling such happiness. Once while traveling through Eureka, Mt i read on a little saw shop sign; "the key to happiness is one bad memory." I believe this whole heartedly. If we did not have an emotion with a sin curve, we would not have any reason to be thankful for the ups after a great low. In the community in the Giver, no one feels pain. In concequence, no one feels happiness, or love.
The role of pain and suffering in our life would be things such as death, losing someone you love is very hard. I think everyone has to lose someone they truly love to appriciate the other ones who you will then to come it would be hard to live without them. My cousin commited suicide 4 years ago and it was the hardest thing iv ever been through he was only 18 and was very very close to my family. It was a really hard situation for my family to undergoe, and after such a tradegy it made my whole family realize how good we really have it. to have such a close loving family where everyone is there for each other. I think everyone deserves to suffer with pain to know how good life can really be. You dont know what you have till its gone, and i think thats so true. because once you know you will never get something back you start to realize how good it really was, such as a life.
I think we need suffering and pain in the world.if we didnt have pain an suffering in the world the people would be careless. I would get really bored if there was know pain cuse not every thing could be great all the time.an some times thinking of family or friends that have past brings pain but you dont wont to forget them.So i thing we need pain in the world or every thing would just be weird.Like jonis new what he was feeling was pain but he wonted every one to know what that feeling was.pain comes and go's.
Pain and suffering exist because for every good in the world there has to be a bad. If people only experienced good then we would not really think it was good. You can only know what is truly good unless you know what is bad. If people did not suffer than we might think not suffering was bad. Without good and bad in the world people would not be able to decipher between the two of them.
The role of pain and difficulty is crucial to the way we percieve life. Without pain it would be alot easier for everyone to do a tast. Without difficulty, when we achieve something it would not taste as sweet. I don't agree with the fact that there must be suffering in the world but it's true. Without suffering then we wouldn't feel the true happiness of not suffering. You can't have one without the other, people couldn't understand how great their lives really are without knowing how horrible they could become in a split second.
Pain and difficulty, to me, are created by the mind due to obstacles and obstructions, both physical, mental, and emotional. Knowing pain makes it hurt. Knowing pain is what signals your mind to scream, or cry, or never cause the pain again. These are the reasons that people don't exactly tear their own flesh off out of random impulse. Some people can watch every finger in their hand snap and break without totally freaking out about it, i've seen it at a rodeo, the man took wooden popsicle sticks and taped them to his fingers. THAT is mentally tough.
I believe there must be pain and difficulty in our lives so we appreciate the good times. Without suffering there would be no compassion in the world. If no one ever suffered from anything then all the good things in life would not seem as worth it. In order to live and appreciate things there needs to be room for pain and suffering. As hard as it may be for us to to go through those hard times, it eventually makes us stronger in the end.
There must always be pain in our lives even though some do not see it. The always must be pain because we need pain to understand things and to learn from mistakes. We wouldn't be afraid of failing so there wouldn't be any risks.Plus if there was no pain in life it would really boring.
