To a paradise, there have been "bumped and thrashed" in all ages and religions, still not found. Maybe because we are usually looking outside ourselves, but also those who are looking in theme itself, doubt. Perhaps because the mood is controlled by external influences, when we accept that opposites are interdependent for their existence and understanding / acceptance of that we are a part of the ongoing cosmic chaos, the world is composed of (ying and yang), we find gratitude even in adversity, then it is a must, for our upturns (existence) sake. YES tHEN WE ARE IN PARADISE :-)
