Darkness is never far away from light; light is never far away from darkness. Joy is never far away from sadness and sadness is never far away from joy. They ride together.
So is kindness. So is understanding; so is gratitude; these things are also there because they are the other side of the coin.
You need to know this—that if you have only experienced your ugliness, then you haven’t flipped the coin. You need to flip the coin—because the other side of that coin is incredible beauty. ~Prem Rawat
