Hello, dear Steemians!
Where there is joy, there are seeds of pain. Where there is hope, there are seeds of doubt. Where there is love, there are seeds of hatred. Where there is light, there are shadows of darkness.
You cannot have life in one way or another, for life is a combination of every good day and every bad day. Sometimes, days start perfectly but end terribly.
Sometimes, days start with trouble but end in joy and delight. There is a day for falling in love and finding someone to adore, as there is a day for bearing the pain of loss for someone we care for. There is a day for defeat, as there is a day for victory.
The promise of dawn is a truth of life. Dawn will always arrive, and what will surely follow is darkness. It is an eternal and incessant cycle of balance; between good and evil, right and wrong, day and night, joy and pain, love and hatred, and life and death.
How we perceive this cycle of comings and goings, and ups and downs, goes back to our mindset and approach. How do we react to the delightful things that happen to us? And how do we react to our tragedies and our shortcomings?
It is just a matter of ‘how’ you decide to look at things.
What I want to explain to you is a philosophical truth of existential nature. It can be difficult to come to terms with. It can be troublesome to accept or cherish. It can be painful to observe, and it can be devastating to bear.
The truth is the same sentence that you have heard a thousand times before, but not once did you have the courage to really think about it: there can be no light without darkness.
Your joy is meaningless without your suffering. Your successes are meaningless without your failures. Your happiness is meaningless without your sorrow. Your laughter is meaningless without your tears. Your life is meaningless without your death. Only with the existence of all these elements together can we really appreciate life and find meaning and purpose in it.
Now you may understand why I said that this is a difficult truth to accept. This truth is essentially saying that you cannot take joy in your earned hours of happiness without contemplating the idea that your sorrow has given meaning to it.
It is difficult to realize that your success would literally not exist without your failure to wreathe meaning into it. The opposite is also true in all of these scenarios.
This is the truth of creation and the balance that brings all things together. There only remains one riddle.
How will you approach the comings and goings of life?
How will you decide to react in your ups and downs?
Will you see your pain only as suffering, but as a means that can provide your joy later on?
Will you see your happiness only as serenity or as a tool that can give meaning to the tragedies of your life? All of this is up for you to decide.
You can decide to only accept joy and reject pain, but in the process, you will lose the meaning and purpose of your life.
I don’t know whether you are currently on the hill or in the mud, whether you are loving or hating your time, but keep your hope, for you will get through it all to see the other side.
A BIG HUG!
