We must come to see that life is a pendulum swinging between two opposites – a pendulum swinging between disappointment and fulfillment, between success and failure, between joy and sorrow. And that’s life. And we never mask the life, and we think that life must be only joyous and happy and that we must live in terms of fulfillment. Disappointment is just as much a part of life as fulfillment. Failure is just as much a part of life as success, sorrow as much a part of life as joy.
