PLEASURE PAIN

[1]

New life welcomed amidst great laughter,
Hail the joy that meets it's arrival,
Whee! Whee! Heralding he's come,
Bundle of joy, you are welcome home

Nine moons have passed, the anxious months,
Painful head, painful back, sickly mouth,
Countless days of sleepless nights,
Just to have, a privileged right.

Gently hold heaven parcel in hand,
Beams of beauty dispel the pangs,
Goodly grace greet godly gold,
Mine for ever, heavens enter load.

SUMMARY

The pleasure or pain that is associated with any given activity is a sign of how developed one's skills are.
For instance, if I stand up to a danger and delight in that, I am courageous, but if I stand up to that danger and it pains me to do so, then I am a coward. The idea here seems to be this: when you delight in doing the right thing, you have developed your skills fairly well, but if it still pains you to do the right thing, then you need to keep working at it.
