If it wasn't for bad times, I could enjoy the good times.
If it wasn't for the past, I wouldn't be present today.
If it wasn't was for failure, I wouldn't enjoy success.
If it wasn't for stress, I couldn't enjoy peace.

If it was for tragedy, I couldn't appreciate serenity.
If it wasn't for judgement, I couldn't access the accuracy of it.
If it wasn't for hate, I couldn't empathize or know love.
If it wasn't for being fired, I wouldn't be able to find something better.
