Some people want to have uninterrupted happiness. When you eat at 10.00am, you do not go on eating every hour thereafter without a break. You have to give a break for the food to be digested. So also, when you experience pleasure, it has to be digested before you meet with another bout of such experience. Just as you have to do some exercise for helping the food to digest, you have to go through the exercise of confrontation of pain after experiencing pleasure. Therefore, you must take whatever is given by God as good for you.
