In our lives we seek only Joy and Happiness,
and damn the sorrow that plagues us;
Never acknowledging that the one
cannot exist without the other.
For our Joy and Sorrow are inseparable
each providing definition for the other;
Just as there can be no shadow without
the brightness of sunlight
It is from the depths of our Sorrow
that we gauge the height of our Ecstasy.
The mountain seems all the more majestic
when seen from the valley floor.
The deeper that our Sorrow carves into our heart
the more room to fill with our Joy.
And the well from which our laughter rises
must first be filled with our tears.
