Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots.

“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. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance.”
