Retaining Your Equanimity

January 7th 2007 09:41

Carl Jung says:

Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.

I say:

Is it possible to experience true happiness or true despair?

Flashes of memories

Not unless you have experienced the exact opposite for you need something to measure that emotion against. If you have never experienced happiness then how can you feel sadness?

I will always enjoy the light, but will endure the darkness too, for it shows me the stars...
