"When it is dark enough, you can see the stars."

When the darkness envelops the earth and it seems that we are truly lost in our troubles, it appears as if there is no bright side. Most people wonder why it is that there is such a thing as darkness, and why there can not always be light. The truth behind that is this: none of us can truly appreciate the light if there weren't any darkness to separate us from it.
We may not like to admit it, but we learn from all of the bad things in life. The lessons that we learn from our previous mistakes are the ones that keep us from making the same mistakes again. If we never did anything wrong, then we would never do anything right. It's a shame that we aren't all lucky enough to have a chance-- I would know. I've seen to many bad things happen to good people; but never could I bring myself understand why it is that these bad things happen. Nothing seemed to answer any of my questions. So, I asked a friend of mine. I told him of everyone and everything that could never come back and all of these things that just aren't fair.
He told me that things happen and there isn't really much we can do. Sometimes, we can't stop things, and we can't change things, no matter how hard we try. Sometimes, it's too hard to understand, and we just try to shut it out. But that's not the answer, Stephanie. Then he said this:

"It may not make sense to you now, and it may not make sense to you tomorrow. But, I'm sure of it, deep down, that in the end, it will make sense. Everything will. Maybe that's because you can only see the stars at night. It may not make sense when the sun is shining, but when it gets dark, and you see those stars shining, it all seems to make sense then."
