So, you go to the market and buy the purest form of Gold, i.e. 24 carare gold, paying the highest price.
Do you think getting gold with 100% purity is possible?
The answer is no.
In the real world, the 24 karat and 999.9 fineness are generally accepted as pure gold as it is impossible to produce 100% pure gold.
It means that even the purest form of gold has at least 0.01% impurity.
The same is true for every other substance in the world.
However, it does not mean that all golds are equally valuable and that 24K gold and 10K gold are all the same because both are impure.
In the same way, it is impossible to have complete (100%) freedom from unhappiness and suffering.
However, we can work to minimise the pain and maximise our happiness.
Numerous people suffer pain most of their lives, with only a rare glimpse of happiness once in a while.
There are also millions of people in the world who are happy most of the time, with occasional instances of pain.
So, living a life almost free from pain and suffering is possible.
Instead of seeking a painless-full-joy life, seek a less-pain-more-joy life.
You can get such a life by working hard today to develop a proper understanding of the self, acquiring proper knowledge, planning for the future, and leading a disciplined and moral life.
