“Happiness needs sadness / Success needs failure / Benevolence needs evil / Love needs hatred / Victory needs defeat / Pleasure needs pain. We must experience and accept the extremes, because if the contrast is lost, we lose appreciation; and when we lose appreciation, we lose the value of everything.” ~ Unknown
While I don’t think we *need* evil, failure, and hatred, I support the premise of the message. An evening with some of my closest pals reminds me of this, today, and every day. Words can’t suffice for how much I appreciate them, their friendship, their compassion, understanding, and amazing ability to listen to each other. How did I get so lucky? I must be living right.
