" HAPPINESS " MY PHOTO, ©

May be an image of rose and nature

Oh, unhappiness, you relentless tormentor of my heart and mind, forgive me for I have never thought to thank you for your presence in my life but I have just come to realize that, without your bitter presence, none of the sweet instances of happiness, I would have been able to enjoy! © Demetrios Trifiatis 08 June 2022

Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us, Demetrios. It is so true, in a world of duality. shadow and Light are always present. The contrast increases and intensifies the awareness of each. Sometimes the burden, self-imposed, is almost too much to bear for me; but, without awareness I have nothing. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

In keeping the balance of nature we must accept both. How beautifully you put it Demetrios. Your rose resembles my bush named Purfume Delight. It is lovely and its scent divine. Blessings xxoo

Dear friend Demetrios, you shed light on the fundamental assumptions that we so frequently overlook. And it is true that we need to know misery before we can fully appreciate delight and have it in our lives.

Yes, my dearest friend, Lasaad, sometimes we overlook certain basic truths but this is part of our human nature. Thank you so much for your kind visit and comment. Be blessed!
