‘At the age of 18, it finally dawned on me that I probably would not appreciate how good and great times were if I did not experience sad and awful times.
We need the valleys to gauge the peaks.
Pain, misery, suffering, and the storms of life really do provide such a stark contrast to joy and peace.
They help us appreciate the sunny side of life more.’
