Why are all good things bad?

Fat is so Sweet
All good things in life come with a kickback. I like to rest in my backyard for a while, but before you know it, you're applying either sunblock or aftersun. Why would anyone create this world where every temptation kicks like a mule when you expect it the least? What is the irony of making us weakwilled against the good things in life? I cannot believe there would be a creator so cynic to create such a world. The only remaining option would be the inherent human weakness for bad things. And apparently we are all just the same. We like to eat a nice piece of fried food, but then we get fat and die our heart out. We like to do sports, but then we get an injury that drops us back at condition zero. Even love is blind. And fat is sweet.

It is a Test!
I heard a nice angle on this topic. Our creator is testing us. Only if we can resist the temptations, we will live happily. Now, that is the biggest heap of feaces I've ever heard. Firstly because I don't believe in our creator, but more importantly because we don't need to be tested. Being tested the whole live, leaves no room for a normal way of live. Imagine a student that has to take exams every single day of his life. There would be no room for anything else. In short, if you believe it is a test, then the creator is putting us in a threadmill and shuts us out of any purpose. And I refuse to believe that. If you have a pet, or even a child you love very much, you are not doing it a favour by constantly putting it to the test.

You are wrong because we are not constantly in temptation!
Ofcourse we are, you silly. In the Eastern religion they figured that out way before they did in the West. Buddism focusses on throwing off any distraction, and the emphasis lies soley on self deployment through inner calm. Did you not read the first paragraph? Everything we like has a drawback. It is the story of our live until we die. That is the reassuring endnote of our journey. Whatever we do, our ending is the same. Be it more painfull physical or emotional for some than for others. The whole point i'm making is that the balancing act between good and bad is what keeps us awake. You need the down moments to enjoy the up moments. You enjoy a cold drink more in the summer than in the winter. Even love brings us to such heights (and debts), only to enjoy the happy moments. That is what I believe is in our nature. But that doesn't explain why the world around us seems to behave the same way.

The Good, the Bad and the Sin
We know in our heart that we will repend some actions, even before we take them. Jumping of that cliff is going to hurt you one way or another, yet you take the plunge and enjoy every second before contact. Religion has tought about this as well, and gave it the label 'Sin'. A clever mechanism to show us that whatever challange we take, we should be aware that it can lead to side effects. Therefore I suggest that as of today I will no longer reflect my actions upfront. If I'm doing the right thing, and enjoy my life in moderation, then I'm passing the test every single day. I will not know that I've lived, but at least I will not be kicked by a mule.
