The Law of Compensation

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Explained the law of compensation in very clear terms: “for everything you have missed, you have gained something else; and for everything you gain you lose something else.”
The whole of what we know is a system of compensation. Every defect in one manner is made up in another. Every suffering is rewarded and every sacrifice is made up; every debt is paid. It is best to overcome these difficulties by forgetting them for a time and helping others who have greater problems.

This is a great principal to live by. Understanding the deeper meaning alows you to begin to shape your thoughts around this information. Memorize the qutoe and begin to look for it in your every day life.
