A beautiful, pristine, magnificent lotus flower grows from a dark, murky, filthy mud environment of a swamp. Painful thoughts/feeling are inextricably linked with ones values and goals; pain must therefore be embraced if we are to create a rich, full and meaningful life. The swamp mud (life, or human condition) provides the nutrients and fertiliser from which the lotus arises. In the same way, you can't have love without pain, courage without fear, creativity without some contact with our dark side.
