Joy and woe are woven fine, A clothing for the soul divine; Under every grief and pine Runs a joy with silken twine. It is right it should be so; We are made for joy and woe; And when this we rightly know, Through the world we safely go.
The gratitude that we encounter helps us believe in the goodness of the world, and strengthens us thereby to do what's good.
