Joy and Sorrow as Seeds of Growth

Joy and sorrow never part ways in this life. When our hearts rejoice, we may miss our friends who cannot see joy, and when we are overwhelmed with grief, we may discover true friendship. Joy and sorrow are hidden in each other. If we try everything to avoid sorrow, we may never taste joy, and if we are concerned about joy, pain may never be discovered. Joy and sorrow are often the seeds of our spiritual growth.
