you have to know snow and her frostbite,
to appreciate the sun and her warmth.
you must know pain,
to truly know joy.
for if you only have the latters,
then you'll neglect their importance in your life and simply say "pss they don't matter."
its not until you meet the formers
will you suddenly become a mourner—
yearning for what you've had before.
so acknowledge how good you have it now
or else your memory will force you and your heart at war
inevitably though, karma will knock out your knees getting you to bow.
