what a great quote.

here's another:

"when i am sad, i have to remind myself that sadness i feel so as to qualify me to enjoy and feel joy."

this is not mine, it's a paraphrase of a poem verse from Mawlawi (aka Rumi in the West).

As an aside, I once saw someone cite something somewhat profound and cited Rumi as the source, and I was like "hm that doesn't sound like him but maybe I'm just uncultured."

Turns out they were quoting Rumi from K Pop Demon Hunters and I indeed am uncultured.
