Acharya Prashant addresses the question of why life is filled with deception, suffering, anxiety, boredom, and restlessness. He asserts that such suffering is not inherent to existence but is a unique creation of human beings. While nature—represented by clouds, flowers, and animals—does not exhibit such misery, humans live in constant sorrow. He explains that this suffering arises from the human desire for pleasure. According to the law of duality, one cannot experience pleasure without its opposite, pain. Just as dark letters require a white background to be visible, the pursuit of happiness or success automatically creates and invites its opposite: distress and failure.
