Lumdar

What is happy if you've never been sad?
What is good if you don't know what's bad?
What's a blessing if you've never been cursed?
What's feeling better if you've never felt worse?

What is joy if you don't know what's sorrow?
How do you lead if you never have followed?
What is hope without despair?
What is here without a there?

What's free will if you don't know what's fate?
How do you love when you don't know what's hate?
What's desire if you're always content?
Which path's straight if you don't know what's bent?

What is crying if you always laugh?
Is your life whole if you're only living half?

Boey is making me think. He's really upset about the splitting up of GEP, and he still is, after two months. Not saying I'm not, but it's making me think. You know how people always tell you to be happy and all the other positive stuff? Well, here's a question: why? What's so good about being happy? Sure, you feel better, but are you really living life, if you're always happy, and never know what sadness, pain, remorse, pity, longing, or disappointment are? Boey's got my sympathy.

Half-life,
The Edna Man
