How much pain they have cost us,
the evils which have never happened.
– Thomas Jefferson

(My Thoughts:)

I feel like there is something here that none of us are aware of since we weren’t alive during his time. Maybe there was something going on that was evil or something alike. Well, whatever was going on must have been painful or threatening to the USA. Sometimes, I wish I could sit in the back to the future car and just go back to those days. Maybe this way, I would experience what he really meant by this quote. Otherwise, this quote can mean millions of things to each individual.

Pain

Well, as this is about pain something started to get my attention. Just possibly God punishes us by putting us into pain. For example, let’s say we did something bad to someone and we thought it was fine. Well, God was watching and for whatever we did wrong he punishes us by putting us into pain. It’s a way that God deals with us for what we have done to others. Kind of like what goes around comes around. Next time you plan on doing something that is foul, think about this that God may just punish you through pain. It’s like a subliminal communication and now we are realizing it.

Evils

I’m not sure exactly what he means by the evils but sure tells me to be exact opposite. To be peaceful and to provide peace to everyone you encounter instead of evilness. Stay away from harms way and don’t mess with it. Keep your mind in state of peace even if people around you may be evil. Don’t fight evil with evil, instead fight with peace as it overcomes it. Also eat healthy and keep your body in good shape.
