Our Entire life is simply a roller coaster travel. We go up and down continuously. There is nothing else is happening here. Our life is to experience this happy and unhappy sides of this roller coaster. Attaining more happy and avoiding unhappy is what creates the more happy and suffering side. The more happy we experience, the more we are suffering. So goal seems to be, infact, I can't say this must be a goal, this is actually our natural state, our nature state is to experience the perfect balance of happy and unhappy.

The natural state is unconcerned with balancing happy/unhappy...there is complete and total acceptance of the fact of the ups/down of life.

I am saying happy experience follows unhappy experience and unhappy experience follows happy experience and this can't be avoided. Can you please define what constitutes a "happy experience," vs. and "unhappy experience"? Feelings do very much ebb and flow...arise and fall....no permanence there for ANY particular feeling, but that does not mean that a moment of an abject feeling/sense of happiness when it ebbs, will necessarily ebb all the way down to abject "unhappiness." In freedom from all feelings, those basic labels of "happiness/unhappiness" are no longer as clear, because in freedom, there is a pervasive sense of equanimity, regardless of what's happening. A feeling of sorrow for example can have a 'sweetness' to it....a sense of frustration, an air of humor to it.

The story content doesn't matter, it differ for you and to the sadist.
You copy paste enigma's line. You are not writing anything from your own life experience!
