Balance

“Sadness gives depth. 

Happiness gives height. 

Sadness gives roots. 

Happiness gives branches.

Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, 

and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. 

Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. 

The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots.

In fact, it is always in proportion. 

That’s its balance.”
