"I have found that the many imbalances within our individual lives result in an overall more worldly balance. What I mean is that no matter how unfair I think something is, I need only look at the bigger picture to see how, in a way, it fits. My dad was right when he said that there was no such thing as a free meal: Everything comes at a cost to others, most of the time at a cost to ourselves. Whenever something is gained, it has been taken from another place. When something is lost, it arrives elsewhere. There are the usual philosophical questions: Why do bad things happen to good people? Within every bad thing I see good, and, likewise, with every good thing I see bad, however impossible it is to understand it or see it at the time. As humans we are the epitome of life; in life there is always a balance. Life and death, male and female, good and bad, beautiful and ugly, win and lose, love and hate. Lost and found."
- Cecelia Ahern, A Place Called Here.
