Yet there it always lurked-something for ever dimly seen, but ever there, and never absent for a moment.

I've noticed that there are so many times when things seem negative on the surface, but when you look back with a far enough lens and enough time between you and that event, it usually works out for the best in terms of where you need to go in your life and who you need to become as a person. If you view life like that, it really turns out to be that way.
