Some people grumble that roses have thorns; I am grateful that thorns have roses ~Alphonse Karr
We have to first accept winter before we can see and experience spring. We have to first accept struggling before we can experience the satisfaction of completing a task. We have to first accept pain before we can heal. We have to first accept a loss before we regain something. We have to first accept the night before we can see the morning sun. We have to first accept hunger pains before we can eat. We have to first accept learning before we can do something. We have to first accept death before we can live our lives to the fullest.
I did not know that thorns have roses; that’s wonderful! I never thought of it that way!
