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.
The bigger the tree,
the bigger will be its roots.
In fact, it is always in proportion.
That's the balance. ~ Osho
The word happiness would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. ~ Carl Jung
I am both happy and sad at the same time, and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be. ~ Stephen Chbosky
