2Nephi 2:11 For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my first-born in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility.
I think this is a beautiful scripture - especially in the context of Lehi giving his last lessons on the Gospel to his youngest children. The understanding of the need for opposition can give us courage in trials - and comfort when bad things happen.
