Laughing can look like crying. Shouts of joy can sound like shrieks of distress. Ecstasy can look like anguish.
Ecstasy and anguish go hand in hand and resemble each other for without one we wouldn't truly know the other. Without the light we wouldn’t know the shadow… without the anguish we would not know the ecstasy. Without the effort we would not recognize the victory.
