Imagining a world with no sadness, pain and fear.

We live in a world filled with unexpected phenomenons, and undesirable events. Tragedies, accidents and mysteries around the world constantly fill our news feed. Stories of happiness and miracles are rare, yet stories filled with sadness, pain or fears are dramatized to an extent.  

Imagine a perfect world with no sadness, no pain, and no fear.

A world where hurt is never felt and tears are never dropped. A world where everyone smiles and never frown. A world where there is only good and failures and disappointments are non-existent. A world where there are no demons and monsters. A world with no politics, war and poverty. A world where the notion of ugly and fat does not exist. A world where there is no such thing as racism, harassment and discrimination. A world where everyone is equal and there is no hatred and suffering.

Would this perfect world be worth living in?

In a perfect world, it is full of happiness. We never stop smiling because we know nothing but a smile. We feel nothing because we are already fulfilled. We will never experience sadness because all we know is the feeling of happiness. Our feeling of happiness is our constant state of mind, we don’t feel anything else.

In a perfect world, there is no suffering. A world with no suffering is a world with no heart. How do we care for something when we never feel pain and sadness? How can we know love if we don’t know hate? How can we fix something when there is nothing to fix? How do we know strength when we don’t experience pain?

In a perfect world, there is no real happiness. We won’t know what it is like to be truly happy without sadness. 

In a perfect world, we are inhumane. 

Because a perfect world with no sadness, pain and fear does not exist. 

Our sadness, pain and fear are part of our everyday life. They are inevitable but they make us human. They encompass our perfect world. We cannot have light without darkness. It is a constant balance that we face every day. Our pain and suffering enables us to know what the feeling of true happiness is. To feel the pain of birth is to know that the child is yours. To a life of tragedy is to give you the strength to survive. To lose a loved one is to know what love and appreciation is. To suffer from an illness is to know that we are staying alive. A world with sadness, pain and fear teaches us the true meaning of happiness. A world with sadness, pain and fear also teaches us that we should strive for a better world.
