"Emotional pain hurts the same as physical pain. Is numbing our pain always a good thing? The more we know pain in all its varying flavors the more we can appreciate the sensations and feelings we like in contrast. If we never felt bitterness or anger, than we couldn't deeply appreciate our happiness. If we never knew fear, than we couldn't admire courage. Maybe to more fully enjoy the beauty in our lives we must first acknowledge and embrace our pain."--TNT, Perception
According to Wikipedia "in Chinese philosophy, yin and yang, are concepts used to describe how apparently opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary, interconnected and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many tangible dualities (such as light and dark, high and low, hot and cold, fire and water, life and death, male and female, sun and moon, and so on) are thought of as physical manifestations of the duality of yin and yang. Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts."
When you are moving through life and wondering why certain things happen to you, stop and think about the positives that come with, before, or after the negatives. These can often be complementary. If you have experienced great love, you may also experience great loss, if you have had extreme happiness, you may also have felt deep sadness. The negative feelings don't have to overwhelm you and bring you down. Remember they are connected to the positive feelings and without one you can't fully appreciate the other.
So, while you are wallowing in the negative, know that maybe around the corner there will be something positive, and when you are experiencing great positivity, stop to be grateful and appreciative for what you have.
