“Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word ‘happy’ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better to take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.”

—Carl Jung

  1. I don't know if this is related, but I recently re-read a quote that has stuck with me:
    "Just because you are having a bad day, it does not mean that you have a bad life..."Something like that.
    I think it was in a little book called The Instant Happy Journal. I think that's the name.
