Blessed Be Poem by Josehf Murchison

Blessed be the darkness.
For without the darkness, we would not know the light.

Born in darkness, the blind do not know the light.
To them the dark is the norm.
Born in the light, we see the sun, the moon and the stars.
We know the difference between the light and the dark.
If we lived in pleasure all our lives, we would not know it was pleasure.
It would just be.
But when we feel pain we learn the difference between pain and pleasure.
We know that one we like and the other we don't.

In life we need the bad to teach us good is good.
That pain and sorrow hurt, and joy and life are pleasure.
Without death we would not crave life.
