Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
Carl Jung

When I read these words I think of my life and I have known happiness, and great sadness. I do believe we need sadness to have happiness. Think of roller coaster going up, up, up the top the tracks. The excitement and the anticipation. Finally you go flying down. You feel so high and light headed. What if it never stopped. You could not take it. You need to level of and calm down, and be content with your ride...........................
