Life could be bittersweet

"To my mind, bittersweetness is the recognition that joy and sorrow and light and dark are forever paired...The bittersweet tradition tells us that it's all the main road. The joy and the sorrow, they're both the main road. And that's a completely transformative way of understanding day-to-day experience. It removes a lot of the resistance that we feel when bad things happen. When a bad thing happens there's a kind of 'why me?' impulse that we talk about. But if you're looking at things in a bittersweet way, you don't have that reaction as much."
