Joy

Your joy can fill you only as deeply your sorrow has carved you.
~ Karen Marie Moning (quote taken from one of her novels)

I have heard that this is based on the idea that one can only go as high as one was once low. The idea that joy can only be felt by those who have felt sorrow. Otherwise, one would not know the level of difference. Take heart, if you have felt tremendous sorrow, then you are able to feel tremendous joy.
