I guess there's some things that you can never erase

"I guess there's some things that you can never erase"  and I'm not sure I would want to erase them.

Happiness and sadness are roses in a garden. The happiness is the flower of the rose and sadness the thorns. Roses without thorns aren't as beautiful. When you prick your finger on a thorn you draw blood and are sad. When you look and smell the rose you are happy. Both happiness and sadness, joy and sorrow are a part of life each follows the other in rapid succession.

Happiness and sadness, joy and sorrow are the yen and yang of existence. If it were not for sadness we would not know what happiness was and if it were not for happiness sadness would not exist. The best that I or anyone can hope for, is at the end of the day we have smiled more then we have cried.

I do not think life sucks. Circumstances and events which come into our lives suck. Sometime people who come into our lives suck, but life itself does not suck. Life is an interesting adventure in which the soul develops its wings and learns what makes it happy or sad. Humans are dual natured creatures. Because of our dual nature we live in a world of opposites where happiness and sadness, joy and sorrow come and go.
