" Happiness is beneficial for the body, but it is grief that develops the powers of the mind. "
- Marcel Proust
Happiness is essential for living life but running around happiness and avoiding painful emotions is not the right way to approach anything in life. As happiness gives us energy and creates a calm feeling within us, pain is the alternate energy where our focus becomes one point.
Grief gives us the power to handle our minds and make them stronger. We become aware of our potential to deal with tough situations.
Both bliss and grief state has energy, it's on us to utilize it properly.
