चन्दनतरुषु भुजङ्गाः जलेषु कमलानि तत्र ग्राहाः।
गुणघातिनश्च पिशुनाः भोगे न सुखान्यविघ्नानि॥हितोपदेशे

Venomous snakes curl around sandalwood trees. While enjoying the aroma and coolness of chandanam one has to contend with such harmful reptiles too
Attractive lotus flowers bloom in plenty in lakes and ponds. However such waterfronts would be infested with crocodiles too. To have lotus we have to live in fear of crocodiles too.
Even in the most attractive and beneficial environments we would find backbiters and slanderers who would take away the comfort, beauty and attractiveness of the social interactions.
Yes, we cannot have all the comforts and enjoyments without interruptions and roadblocks. We have to live with them.
