Quote 11
To know right
You have to know wrong
To know smiles
You have to know tears
To know love
You have to know hate
To know friends
You have to know loneliness
Won't know a liar
Till you show them the truth
Won't know a backstabber
Till you show them your back
Won't know a killer
Till you show them your life
All cause pain, but pain is never all bad
Pain are building blocks to strength
Lies are just fortification to truth
Death is just reinforcement to life
Who was it that told you that thunder was bad?
Who was it that said the night is negative?
For every thunderstorm grows flowers
Every sunset wakes the nocturnals up
Every fire generates heat
The things we take for granted..
Do we count every time our eye blinks?
Do we count every time our heart beats?
But yet without them life would be very different
Appreciation for something is never at its fullest..
Till that something is gone
But once gone..
it is strived for..
Ambition
~pride~
