Oh, suffering, you merciless tormentor of my heart and mind, forgive me for never before have I thought to thank you for your presence in my life but I have just come to realize that without you, none of the rapturous instances of happiness, I would have been able to witness! © Demetrios Trifiatis 04 January 2021

It is true for myself, I never appreciate the hugs, kisses, winks, and pops of joy more than after sorrow, sadness or death.

So true Demetrios. You must experience the opposite to realize the difference to know and appreciate. Clever thought my friend...

Much needed reminder about feelings--they complement to make us whole. Well said, Demetrios. Awesome rose!
