Is it in our happiness that we are sad, in our sadness that we are joyous, in our boredom that we are excited, in our excitement that we are bored, in our seriousness that we are amused, in our amusement that we are serious, etc.? What do you take of this? Do you see this as a beautiful intermix of emotions or rather as confusion of our own complexity? Can two contradictory emotions (or rather a combination of contradictory emotions) be felt at the same time, but both so subtle that the heart feels mutually but yet neither?
What do you think is controlling or driving the flower?

"you must know sadness to obtain happiness." This is BS. Feelings are how we receive and translate the input. A person with fear might experience threat of loss at the greatest moment of happiness. If the fear is gone, all that remains is the happiness.
Stub your toe. It hurts. Wait a while, and then stub it again. It hurts. Get your faced gently caressed by the hand of someone you care about, and there is not need to get slapped to realize it feels good to get the caress.
We spend to much time trying to get a balance of life, fail to realized that you can have a life where happiness so outweighs anything else, it is not something worth considering.

How Can A Flower [Human Being] Neither Wither Nor Bloom? It Surely Will Captivate Some Form And Progress Or Deteroriate From There. I Believe As A Flower Reaches Its Full Potential In Bloom [Human Beings Peak In Life] The Flower Either Continues Annually To Grow And Produce Multiple Beautiful Flowers [Works, Characterisitcs, Accomplishments] Or Within The Year Of Potential, The Flower [Human Being] Will Begin To Grow, And As Influences, Temptations, Thorns And Thistles Of The World(Bible) Over Power The Flower [Human Being] And Thus The Flower Wilts, Dies, Drastically Decreasing Its Odds For Regrowth. I Think Many Forces Controll Or Drive The Flower To Thrive Or Wither, Such As Water, Sunlight, Location, Shadyiness, Surrounding Folliage, Etc. Humans Like Flowers Have The Ability After Years Of Lying Dormant To Once Again Grow And Become Twice The Beauty As Previously Onlooked.

Is the divine both evil and good? Or is it just divine? In sadness, is there joy? Or is happiness sad? In a score, the resonance may be a chord, and the chord could make up the melody, and the music is your emotion, and you feel it to be an intermix, like a resonance.

This failure of emotion to differentiate the object is wonder at the surface level, not confusion. Infinitives [humans] are a pure that will (assert/predicate) to re-will. Neither the origin nor the end is "known", only that will has been differentiated comparatively toward objects; all objects are alike in that they are subject to it. Congratulations.

The thing is that none of what we call life in the material sense is real. All emotions as such are not real. What we really are is God and there is no dualism in Him. We/He simply are.
Sadness needs happiness to (appear to ) exist. The one can only be in context to the other. How can you go left if the option of right is not there

I think that the flower is doing both simultaneously. The aggregate result would appear to be stagnant, but it is not. The flow of the universe is based on balance. If you do not see the balance, then you are not looking, you are feeling.
