"¿Qué haría tu bien si el mal no existiera y cómo se vería la tierra si todas las sombras desaparecieran?"
— Mikhail Bulgakov
Simplified Meaning:
Good might not seem special if there was no bad to compare it to. Think about how we understand happiness after feeling sad; without sadness, we wouldn't appreciate being happy as much. Imagine if there were no darkness at all; we might not notice the light or find it comforting. In the same way, without challenges or bad moments, we might not recognize or value the good ones. For instance, if every day was sunny, we might take the sunshine for granted and not see it as a blessing. So, dealing with difficult situations can help us appreciate the positives in life even more.
