Contrasts

Without the darkness and cold would we delight in the warmth and light?

If we did not know the pain of heartache would we fully appreciate extraordinary love?

Without noise and chaos how do we experience the soothing sound of silence?

Does our joy become less without the memory of sadness?

Without illness are we grateful for our health?

Is a restful night savoured all the more with the memory of sleeplessness not long ago?

To fully appreciate the what is do we have to have learned from the what was?
