The answer is actually as easy as it sounds. It is none other than the letter S. We will read the lines once more, but one by one:
Explanation
“I am the beginning of sorrow and the end of sickness.“
Sorrow starts with the letter S as you can see. As for sickness, it ends with two Ss.
“You cannot express happiness without me yet I am in the midst of crosses.”
Without S, it would be spelled as “happine” now, wouldn’t it? As for crosses, two Ss are in the middle or midst.
“I am always in risk yet never in danger.”
Both risk and danger are nearly the same, but risk has the letter S in it, something the word danger doesn’t have.. unless its in plural form.
“You may find me in the sun, but I am never out of darkness.”
Sun and darkness are contradictory to one another, yet the letter S can be found in both.
