Of course, pain provides that contrast so necessary for real pleasure. Negative feelings often make all positive feelings more alarmingly enjoyable. Consider, for instance, the weather. The beautiful sunshine, blue sky, et caetera, of a pleasant day would lose their significance if they were more common. Were such a weather sequence repeated day after day, it would surely effect great complaints from many. Imagine the mundaneness!

Men, in their wickedness, are prone to cause pain to others - not the aforementioned pain that is wholesome, uplifting, and eventually pleasing, but rather bitter pain, pain inflicted in the spirit of malice. Some do this to a great and thoroughly unacceptable extent - these are they whom we call criminals. They kill, rape, steal, and vandalize. Criminals have this in common: they bring only negative pain to others. The (presumed) majority, the law-abiders, are naturally incensed by their villainy, and rightly so, for it infringes upon their and their loved ones’ rights and happiness.

Explanation of the fact that humans are bad and what criminals are: Extremely bad

The situation demands a solution. Some may propound nonviolence and painlessness, claiming these to be the opposite - and therefore, the solution - of violence and pain
