Never a Perfect Answer

There is never a perfect answer in this messy, emotional world. Perfection is beyond the reach of humankind, beyond the reach of magic. In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.

J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany, and Jack Thorne in “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”

To live life waiting for pain and suffering to happen is no way to live, but it is smart to appreciate every happy moment you have so you have something to hold on to during painful moments. Also accepting that perfection is unattainable can help you learn from your mistakes.
