Because you shouldn't be.”

gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives
branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the
roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a

will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance.”
