Life may be, in the end, a grand teetering act. Perhaps everything in the cosmos has a balance of sorts. And in the human context we all have a sort of gross sum of events with an inherent balance of ‘pleasure’ and ‘suffering’. If this stands then if in early-life one’s experiences are characterized by a series of suffering events, their later life may find balance with a series of pleasurable events. Success can be built from this model when one understands the pleasure and pain as objective and then goes about constructing suitable experiences and relationships: having already experienced a gamut of events within the nature of suffering it can be understood that the individual will go about constructing opposing or alternate or pleasurable outcomes to life’s happenings.
