Everybody wants happiness, nobody wants pain; but there can't be a rainbow without a little rain. What do you think this quote means?

Everyone wants to live with nothing but peace and happiness, but a lot of the best things in life cannot happen without some unpleasant things happening first. I know a lot of the things that turned out for the best in my life hurt like hell at first or were exactly the opposite of what I thought I wanted at the time.

The rain is pain and rainbow is happiness. You can't get rainbow with out rain. So no happiness with out pain.
You need a few bad things to happen to you to learn and realise what will make you happy. You can't make a rainbow with out sunlight to. It's a good saying but not the best I've heard.

somehow pain is a function of alarm
If you dont feel pain you will die without pain, if you feel pain then you know you are in danger.
pain is the edge of happiness to mention you the road of happiness?

There can’t be one without the other, as in you can’t have good without evil

It means everyone wants happiness but only some will ever find it.

There's no good times without bad times also.

I much more like the "No pain, no gain" quote.
