Suffering may follow pleasure and overwhelm it most of the time, but life is worth living because of those short moments of pleasure.

Think of a diamond, rare and precious. We are in awe of its beauty even if it may be imperfect in shape. If there is a diamond in a dung hill, most of us would take great pains to find it and acquire it. We may suffer doing this but we do so because we appreciate this piece of beauty that stands out among the mass of ugly.

We are more likely to suffer because the world is entropic. But a small bit of order makes a lifetime of chaos bearable.

Think of a diamond, rare and precious. We are in awe of its beauty even if it may be imperfect in shape. If there is a diamond in a dung hill, most of us would take great pains to find it and try our best to preserve it. We may suffer doing this but we do so because we appreciate this piece of beauty that stands out among the mass of ugly.

This what reality is, entropy. We are more likely to suffer because it is more probable to happen. But a small bit of order makes a lifetime of chaos bearable.
