Life is Suffering

The Buddhists had it right: life is full of suffering. People die, things break, friends and lovers come and go, even the mind will some day whither away. But in between all of the suffering--in between all of the pain--are moments of bliss, moments of supreme joy so brilliant, so perfect that they make it all worth it. Losing yourself in the arms of your partner while making love, feeling the forest come alive just before twilight. Yes, these moments are worth fighting for--they are worth living for.
