Passion - the ups and downs

Anything in life that gives you great joy also has the potential to give you great pain. That's the way life works. By allowing yourself joy, you open the door to possible pain and heartache. Depressing thought, but then the heartaches just make the joys all that much more incredible. I guess I am just not the type of person to try to live my life on a flatline. I have those great highs, plus the great lows. You can't focus on either side too much - accept the bad, knowing that the good is just around the corner.
