'Siddhartha'

What we learn is that humanity, life is a river. And everything is equal in a river. Mixed in is the good and bad, happy and sad, violence and peace, truth and fallacy and everything else that we encounter.

It's all comingled and the same, and it's impossible to have one without the other so why try running from disappointment when you can never, ever avoid it.

Without the bad, terrible and disappointing things in life, there is no pleasure.
