Life gives us many setbacks, tosses us around, tortures us till even tears become a luxury. We curse her and call her names. We beg her to just let us die if she hates us so much. But she just goes on as if our miseries don't matter to her at all. Just when we have given ourselves up to a life of pain and sorrow, suddenly one day the storm clears and lo, we are in the Promised Land! We realize that she has been our friend all along; we were just too short-sighted to see it.
Whether in love or friendship, in business or personal relations, it always helps one to remember that nothing is permanent, however much we may(or not) want it to be, or however hopeless it may make us feel. There's always an end to everything- to both happiness and sorrow. So if we are experiencing sorrow today, we might cheer up because tomorrow may bring us joy. And if we are happy, we should sober down and think of investing in some love, for the rainy day.
There's this prayer that my father always quotes to me when I am down and it never fails to bring life into perspective:
'God, grant us the serenity to accept the things we can not change, courage to change the things we can, and wisdom to know the difference.'
I hope it will do as much for others too. :)
