I love Sarah Chang's title for this album: "Sweet Sorrow".
“As in all sweetest music, a tinge of sadness was in every note. Nor do we know how much of the pleasures even of life we owe to the intermingled sorrows. Joy cannot unfold the deepest truths, although deepest truth must be deepest joy.” -- George MacDonald
There is no joy without sorrow--if you shut yourself off to one, the other goes as well. I know this well enough, but I have to continually be reminded. It's better to feel pain than to feel nothing at all.
