You may see only the thorns and not the rose.
You may see both rose and thorns on equal terms.
For every rose has a thorn and every thorn a rose.
Both are in harmony with each other.

One may diminish in hard times and the other take over.
One may flourish or strike out in independence of the other.
The harmony is created only through interdependence; Collision

He can handle its defences while promoting its existence.
