Beauty is pain and pain is beauty
It is a never ending cycle, you cant have beauty without pain and you cant have pain without seeing the beauty of it, but living without beauty would make life a horrible existence. Living a life without pain is horrendous for the simple fact of if you don't have pain you won't be able to truly notice the little beauty's of life.
You would take them for-granted. Pain is a necessary part of life and so is beauty.
They go hand in hand like Dark and Light. You can't have one without the other.
Pain is Beauty and Beauty is pain.

Hello! Evi here.

So, you tackled a very deep and interesting subject here. It seems like the bare bones of a philosophical essay of some sort, but since you put it in Other Fiction, I assume you're aiming more for the story feel, which I didn't really get. Fiction involves a plot and characters. This is a vague thought. (EDIT: Sorry, I thought this was in Other Fiction, not just Other! Still, though. Develop these thoughts.)

Firstly, grammar.

It is a never [hyphen] ending cycle, [semi-colon, not comma] you can't have beauty without pain and you can't have pain without seeing the beauty of it, but living without beauty would make life a horrible existence.


This is kind of a jumbled sentence. It reads almost like a run-on, so take a look at this and see if you can break it up a bit.

Next, although these parallels you draw between pain and beauty are certainly interesting, you don't really explain them. I see what you're saying, but you need to explore the thought even deeper and give us examples and reasons as to why. Why can't you have pain without seeing the beauty of it? I know people in pain who see nothing beautiful about it. If you disagree, tell us why you think pain and beauty are so closely linked. Analogies, similes, and metaphors would work well to do this. ;)

On a plus note, I liked the reverse-repetition towards the end, although I wondered why you capitalized pain and beauty that time around.

Basically, support these statements and expand on the idea! Keep writing, and best of luck.
"Let's eat, Grandma!" as opposed to "Let's eat Grandma!": punctuation saves lives.

I really liked the way you put it. It is the truth and more people in my opinion should realize that. it's in our everyday lives. I should have thought about writing something like this. You know u just gave me a great idea for my next writing piece. Thanks! :D
