11/21

As much as I dread this feeling, I must remember:

If there is no unknown, there is nothing to discover.

If there is no uncertainty, there is nothing to ascertain.

If there is no conflict, there is no resolution.

If there is no tension, there is no relief.

If there is no deficiency, there is no gratitude.

If there is no doubt, there is no faith.

If there is no suffering, there is no joy.

My self-awareness is but a cold comfort to this raging heart.

As if comfort was what I wanted anyway.
