Essay of a life …

At one point I felt that by looking deeply at me and then letting me know the sorrow and pain that the death of someone I loved very much caused him. My beautiful friend Ellie with whom I have a lot of similarity and empathy, for quite some time. Then shortly after without explanation; Only when taking her delicate hand, I perceived inside and felt her deep sadness that one sometimes:

“You don’t know what it means to lose such a great love, because you will only know it when you love someone more than yourself. I would like to put myself in his place ever and not doubt that one day I would also dare to love that way.”

— Juan Francisco Palencia. 

Good and Bad, no matter how distinct they appear to be, they definitely are relative. They interrelate to one another, and more than that, they are complementary and interdependent. Good cannot simply be without the being of Bad.

Though, by human nature, we savor happiness and well-being yet loathe sadness and grief, we cannot go through one without encountering the other. One cannot interpret well-being without previously undergoing ill-being. We cannot fathom pleasure without already knowing pain.

O you who overflow with grief and sadness, do not despair and give in, there’s more in life than the mere actual moment, and along with every hardship lies relief.

Once born, the baby cries before offering smiles, for being sad is learning to be content.
