Quote by Kahlil Gibran

He who has not looked on Sorrow will never see Joy

He who has not looked on Sorrow will never see Joy

Summary

This quote suggests that one cannot fully appreciate or experience joy without first going through sorrow. It implies that hardships and challenges in life allow a person to develop resilience and perspective, enabling them to truly value moments of happiness and contentment. Without the contrast and understanding of sorrow, joy may be taken for granted or go unnoticed. Therefore, this quote emphasizes the importance of embracing both the highs and lows of life in order to truly appreciate the beauty and significance of joy.
