Living and Surviving

Answer is always there, like a knife in the hand, the challenge is to stab your self in the heart with it. Facing the pain that comes with it. 

Come to think of it, everything that destroys us is made sweet and everything that builds bitter. All nature (or call it god!) knows is to create a challenge for survival, so that only stronger survives, and what could be more effective way of doing it than designing what “we like” and “what is right for us” in completely opposing way! The true wisdom is to understand this anomaly. 

But even that understanding leads to choosing between two difficult choices: live much but suffer pain (does a drunk live, yes.), or avoid pain and not live much (does on live by renouncing the world, I doubt.) 

Living and surviving are very different things.  Living is a process of self destruction in a happy state, and survival of self preservation and duress. So, in a way, one who faces the answers is not better off than one who avoids them.
