life is like a game of chess you can move one pone forward but that can bring you back one move in the game. something so small like the move of a pone can be so intuitive to the movement of the game that it can cause your opponent the upper hand on check mate. life is similar in the since that if you want to take that first step forward in your life and don't really think about the consequences this microscopical move can turn to something monumental. without these moves that makes things so monumental life would be a bore with no excitement and no pain. i know a life with no pain sounds good and all just like thinking you are up on your opponent by moving that pone to that square. without pain no one would really know what the fulfillment of happiness would really be. no winner to the game is a world of hurt but there must always be a winner because in this game of chess each piece must be moved; just like in life, it will go on. through all the bad you discover the good and take from it to make that check mate your gain the next time around.
