The Zen of Happiness
One cannot know happiness,
until one knows sadness;
two sides of the same coin,
build a balanced mind.
We suffer in sadness,
to appreciate happiness.
Tranquility is built
upon the middle ground.
Just as the smile brings joy,
a frown reveals sorrows.
You cannot know one without
having know the other.
It is the yin and yang
of both that grows the
character of the individual;
revel in your emotions.
