The art of living

The art of living is just like light and shadow 
Both are beautiful in their own way 
One is what we seek when we have the other
In light we search shadows for coolness and in shadows we seek light for warmth 
If the light is the feeling of beginning afresh then the shadow is the feeling of nostalgia 
Light mirrors the life itself bright, full of hopes and opportunities while the shadows represent the beauty of death dark, peaceful and relaxing 
Wherever there is light it is always accompanied by the shadows
