This is usually true, but I can recall times when I was in extreme emotional pain and anguish yet somehow felt a sense of beauty about the whole thing as well. It occurs to me as a write this, that perhaps I was feeling the growth that I was going to get from the experience at the time. Such moments are rare though, usually I suffer first and only appreciate it much later.

Though we can often only see the beauty in the darker moments in life from the perspective of hindsight, I think the light is always there. When one focuses intently on the yin, one finds the yang at the center, and vice versa. The two are intertwined and inseparable, only different perspectives of the mind creates the illusion they are two different things.
