TFIOS QUOTE

"Without pain, we couldn't know joy."

Chapter 22.

This isn't exactly a quote from the book said by a character. But this is a quote that was in Gus' house which I loved very much. I also believe that joy cannot exist without pain. For ever difficulty or problem in life, there has always been a corresponding benefit. This quote I can also relate to as that it probably describes my difficulties with moving to Jamaica at first. When I first found out we were moving, I was happy that we were moving, however on my last day in Trinidad, all my friends visited me at the house and then I realised that I did not want to move because I couldn't imagine not being able to see my friends everyday. For a few days in Jamaica, I was very saddened however, when I went on my shadow day to both AISK and Hillel, I made many new friends and now I go to a much better school than my previous one in which I get a better education. So by giving up my live in children, although it was very hard to do, I was able to live a better life here and plus I have more friends. :)
So basically to me, this quote says embrace life and the path chosen for u no matter how difficult it will be first, because at "the end of a storm, there's a golden sky."
