“When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater."

Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.”
― The Prophet
