You know best...

What if...

A broken heart made a noise?
Pain could be seen and not just felt?
The shattered pieces of ur life were visible?
Broken promises could shatter the silence?
Broken trust could draw blood?
Depression had a color?
Tears could sting the eyes of the person who gave them to you?
Shattered dreams could make themselves heard?
Moans of a broken soul could be heard?

Would that ppl more careful...to love, to promise, to cherish, to nurture?

What if we could have a choice?

Would we always choose...

Right over wrong?
Happiness over sadness?
Light over dark?
Perfection over imperfection?
Truth over lies?Good over evil?
Peace over war?
Success over failure?
Winning over losing?
Sweet over bitter?
Pure over impure?

But then how would we ever...

Know one without the other?
Appreciate the good without the bad?
Be thankful for the dizzying heights of happiness without knowing the depth of sadness?
Be grateful for success without tasting failure?
Bask in the glorious sunshine, without going through the darkness of night?
Cherish gaining something, without knowing the pain of losing?
See the the beauty of imperfection over perfection?
Be appreciative of peace without going through the ravages of war?
Look forward to the right, without experiencing the wrong?
Treasure the myriad hues of life, without knowing the black and white?
The pureness of affection without the impure?

For what is life? If not one over the other? To appreciate life, is to accept it all...

The sweet and the sour, the bittersweet...
