You have to admit there are some joys in life that can only be felt due to hardship. A common example is steaming hot showers. It takes a cold day, or a sickness, for someone to experience the joy of a hot shower. You can’t enjoy it in the heat. Then there’s the joy of a fulfilling sleep, often achieved through a tiring day. And there’s the joy of a reunion, achieved through separation. And there are many more examples. Sometimes difficulty carries a special range of joys and that’s something to be thankful for.
