the other side
If there was eternal sunshine, we would not welcome so eagerly a cooling rain, nor feel the joy of seeing the sun peak through the dark clouds. We would not know the fullness of the moment.
I love the color grey. It makes neon colors pop out so much more. It makes bright so much brighter. Just as hope is only understood when one has felt hopeless and freedom is only clear to one who has suffered bondage. Without evil as well, we would be blissfully ignorant and paradise would be less profound to us. We were made to understand things this way, which is perhaps the reason Eve and Adam partook of the forbidden fruit. They wanted to know the other side, and naively opened themselves to it.
This was God's plan, and so in a way the world, in its broken and chaotic state, remains beautiful and perfect.
