“There is no light without shadow, just as there is no happiness without pain”
— Isabel Allende

Simplified Meaning:
In life, we can't fully appreciate good times unless we've experienced difficult ones too. Think about a sunny day after weeks of rain. The sunshine feels extra special because we remember how gloomy the rain was. The challenging parts of life, like losing a game or failing a test, help us value our successes more. Pain and struggles make happiness and achievements feel even better. So, when we're going through tough times, remember they make the good moments even sweeter and more meaningful. Embracing this idea can help us stay hopeful and resilient, knowing that joy often comes after hardship.
