~Ebony and Ivory~

Our lives are a combination of advances and setbacks,

gains and losses, pleasure and pain. It is toldĀ 

that suffering leads to the attainment of wisdomĀ 

and compassion. In this manner we come toĀ 

know that pain, despair, and all the obstaclesĀ 

we sometimes find Ā in life are actuallyĀ 

blessings of darkness.Ā 

Pain and despair teach us compassion.

Obstacles teach us patience and endurance.Ā 

They strengthen us so that we may walk the path.Ā 

Without these things we cannot grow in wisdomĀ 

as spiritual beings. Pain gives pleasure it's value,

just as defeat gives success it's sweetness.Ā 

In the reverse, pain would lose its power if pleasure was aĀ 

thing Ā unknown. Defeat would lose its stingĀ 

if success did not exist. However, in life weĀ 

certainly all experience cycles of gain and loss,

Pain and pleasure, sense and nonsense.Ā 

Darkness presents obstacles through which weĀ 

gain experience, strength, and wisdom.Ā 

Therefore, to walk in balance we mustĀ 

acknowledge the forces of Light and DarknessĀ 

in our lives. Each is a teacher in itsĀ 

own right, and through them we learnĀ 

perspective and discernment. Light providesĀ 

us with knowledge but it's from darknessĀ 

we draw wisdom. In light we see clearlyĀ 

and can discern with the mind.Ā 

In darkness we experience the pain and strifeĀ 

that are catalyst to the wisdom of their avoidance.Ā
