"It is everyone's experience that the basis of daily living is facing life from moment to moment, necessarily accepting whatever the moment brings -sometimes pain, sometimes pleasure. The interconnected opposites of pain and pleasure, along with the opposites of every conceivable kind, form the very basis of life and living; therefore, it is impossible to separate one from the other. What the human being wants is one and not the other -pleasure and not pain. And this pursuit of one as against the other is the main cause of why religion flourishes, various god-men flourish, promising the impossible and leading to frustration.
