Pain is the currency of value

In the movie Inside Out, the character of Joy initially sees Sadness as a hindrance to Riley's happiness. However, as the movie progresses, Joy comes to understand the value and wisdom of sadness. This shift in perspective is a powerful message about the importance of embracing all of our emotions, even the difficult ones.

Ultimately, Joy learns that sadness can be a valuable and necessary emotion. In a poignant moment, Joy realizes that it was the memory of Riley feeling sad after missing a crucial hockey goal that brought her parents to comfort her and strengthened her family bonds. This realization underscores the idea that difficult emotions, such as sadness, can be a catalyst for growth and connection.

You only know WHO you are, WHAT you want and WHY you want it through the metric of pain. There is no Self without pain.

Avoidance of pain is not the solution, acceptance of meaningful pain is.
