If I did not know the cruelty of the world-
I would not have recognized kindness.
If I did not know the rejection of the world,
I would have never known acceptance.
If I did not know the coldness of the world,
I would not have realized true warmth.
If I never knew the hatred of the world,
I would never have believed in Real Love.
