Opposites in One

Spouses and children, for example, are capable of bringing us the greatest sorrow - specifically because most of the time they bring the greatest joy.

It's amazing how much you will put up with when you love someone. And how closely the joy and sorrow can be linked.

SG -
Don't think I'm a mind-reader yet, but I think we all go through it.
