Juxtapositions of Life

If there were no bad days, we would never realise the value of good ones
If we are never sad, we will never appreciate the joy of happiness
If we don't fall sick,  we will not realise the value of good health
If we don't have any enemies, we will never realise the worth of good friends
If there were no autumn, we would not appreciate the beauty of spring
If there were no death, we will never enjoy life

Juxtapositions add spice to life
make it interesting 
make us count our blessings 
But for them life would be so boring!
