Where beauty is, then there is ugliness;
where right is, also there is wrong.
Knowledge and ignorance are interdependent;
delusion and enlightenment condition each other.
Since olden times it has been so.

    The text has a very relativistic approach, and is of course right in this context. As it is for the photo.

    A picture usually speaks a thousand words. But it is even more complete with a matching quote.

    Lovely photo. The poem reminds me of Kahlil Gibran’s the Prophet On Joy and Sorrow:

    “Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
    And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
    And how else can it be?”
    I love the quote. Thanks

    Unfortunately we need to know ignorance to recognize wisdom; we need to know darkness to recognize light. I wish the world would be perfect as God imagined it!
