Grief and joy, suffering and pleasure: two sides of the same coin?

Is it correct that we understand and appreciate joy when we know what it means to grieve? Is it correct that we understand and appreciate pleasure when we know what it means to suffer?

In a way, pain is unavoidable for a person who seeks growth and to flourish.

Maybe the calling of organizations is not necessarily to eliminate grief and suffering, but to manage these, like how incubators manage risk for startups. We can do this through authenticity, empathy, and dialogue. Pakikipagkapwa-tao at bayanihan.
