"The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain." -Kahlil Gibran 

Bronies, the more I read on here, the more I see the path that pain has carved, andhow this show, this community, is somehow awakening in us something miraculous, and changing the course of that path. At first when feeling pain, we lash out with angry hoofs and clenched teeth atthe world that we feel has wronged us. We hold on to this pain, and make others suffer, because if we must suffer, we do not want to suffer alone. We blame ourselves for our shortcomings and failures aswe direct our anger and bitterness inward. Sometimes we don't even know why we are hurting, it just feels like something important is missing from our lives. In searching for this missing piece torelieve the pain of our empty past, we sometimes latch onto unhealthy habits or false friendships. Sometimes we are afraid to show the world who we really are, because we are afraid that others will seethe flaws that we see in ourselves, and in the end we need their companionship even if the person they think they know is somepony else. We put on fake smiles to face the world and try to show themthe 'everything is ok' when we know something isn't. We are conditioned to bear this pain, and lie to everypony when we say it isn't there. But how can we be happy when we cannot show ourselves to our'close' friends, when we are constantly afraid of ridicule for showing emotions, when we are angry at ourselves for our perceived faults, and at others for the pain that they have caused us? 
>Thesimplest solution is to let it go. 
How can you be angry if you have forgiven yourself for your faults, others for their misguided actions? How can you be afraid if you trust those you consider tobe your friends? 
We can forgive when we can accept the simplest truth of all: that good and bad, pleasure and pain, light and dark, are all inside.
