To really be free we must first learn to love the life we've been given. Only when we see our situations for what they truly are then, and only then can we see our way out of the negatives as we are fueled by pure positive influence.
If positivity is light, and negativity is darkness, as is our culture's tradition...
With no light, in pure darkness, one cannot see where one is going. This is true, and well known.
However, what is not so well known is that nothing but light, with absolutely no darkness, is blinding. The way is no clearer, so the result is the same, except significantly more painful.
It takes a harmonizing dance of darkness
and light in order for the way forward to be clear.
