Bitter before sweet

You have to have the bitter,
before the sweet.
You have to have the rain,
before the rainbow.
You have to have winter,
before summer.
And without the bitter, the rain, the winter,
nothing would be as tasty, beautiful, warm.
We get used to the bad,
Only so we can experience
the good,
fuller.
