Happy cannot be constant. Sad cannot be constant. need both to Live.

Sad every blue moon or so, makes us appreciate the Happy. more know what we have.

need both to Live. need both to Thrive. need both to Survive.

Happy. Sad. Both. neither too much. neither too little. Both. more Happy than Sad. not too much.

Shadow exists only because Light does. Light makes Shadows. Shadows make no Light. yet from Dark was Light created.

never can have no Shadows, while Light exists. never can have no Sad, while Happy exists.

Bad grammar? I know. purpose. cannot have Bad without Good. Good without Bad.

my Happy not your Happy. my Sad not your Sad. maybe. maybe not.

maybe my Sad your Happy. maybe my Happy your Sad. maybe. maybe not.

Happy. Sad. Both.

need both to Live. need both to Survive. need both to Thrive.

But do you need either to Die?

Die in peace. Die at rest. Die sudden, fearful, stressed.

Die hurt. Die no pain. Die when nothing left to gain.

Die surrounded. Die alone. Die when want to Live the most.

but on comes Death, without concern, for what we wish, we hope, we yearn.

He reaps the Living Souls, now Dying, now Dead.

Inevitable. Unstoppable. Unavoidable. prevent Death, can none. for in order to Live, we someday must Die (surrounded, at peace; in fear, alone).

Immortality - a Lie. Undying don't truly Live.

the Immortal jellyfish unmatures when adult, becomes baby again. but can still be Ate. can Disease. can Die.

everyone Dies eventually. Death comes for all in due time. only question is when He comes.

Living, Dying, Dead. Life, Death.

cannot Life without Die. cannot Death without Live.

need both. need both to Exist. need both to Be.

without Die, Live no meaning has. make it count.

Live, Die. Living, Dying, Dead. Life, Death.

Good, Bad. Shadow, Light. Happy, Sad.

need All. need Every.

you have your Time amongst the Living. make it count.

give meaning to Live, to Die.

Survive. Thrive. Alive.
