Welcome the conflicting companions together,
each exists because of the other.
Welcome both confusion and understanding,
understanding is born from confusion.
Welcome both joy and sorrow,

Welcome both victory and defeat,
victory is born from defeat.
Welcome both hope and despair,

Welcome both night and day,
day is born from night.
Welcome both life and death,
life is born from death.
Sometimes the only way to deeply appreciate one
is to experience the other.
