"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Balance.

Cartier Bresson, Armenia, USSR, 1972


Sadness gives depth. 
Happiness gives height. 
Sadness gives roots. 
Happiness gives branches. 
Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. 
Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. 
The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. 
That's its balance.

Osho
