Life

How can one experience victory if he does not know what failure is
How can one taste the sweetness of riches if he has not tasted poverty
How can one be healed if he has not been hurt
How can one be warmed if he has not experience coldness

How can one smell fragrance if he has not smelt stench
How can one feel joy if he has not felt sorrow
How can one know how precious laughter is when he has not cried
How can one see beauty if he has not met ugliness
How can one hear melody when he has not heard noise

How can one say "He is my husband" when it was a divorce paper who sent her to grave
How can one say "I'm in love" when she is always in tears
How can one say "I'm happy being with him" when she is always complaining about him

How can one truly appreciate life without experiencing the opposites of everything

(have been hearing too many unhappy stories lately, a little rant to let go of the negative ions building up in my system...cos' I'm ultimately a happy person by nature...)
