The Wisdom of a 5 Year Old

Pain:  The condition or fact of suffering or anguish especially mental, as opposed to pleasure; torment; distress; sadness; grief; solicitude; disquietude.  

I still harbor deep down inside me the belief that I can make my way through life pain-free.  That desire is still there.  Intellectually, I know this to be bullshit and my experience confirms this, along with the counsel of many friends, and the wisdom I've gleaned through my intellectual and spiritual pursuit of ways to avoid the opposite of pleasure.

Sponsor (speaking directly to me):  "What are you - 5 years old?"

I wish.  I aspire to the wisdom of a 5 year old.  Maybe some day.
