It is no doubt true that we cannot go through
life without sorrow. There can be no sunshine without shade. We must not
complain that roses have thorns, but rather be grateful that thorns have
flowers.
Out existence here is so complex that we must expect much sorrow and
suffering. Many people distress and torment themselves about the mystery of
existence. But although a good man may at times be angry with the world, it is
certain that no man was ever so discontented with the world who did his duty in
it. The world is like a looking-glass; if you smile;
If you frown back. If you
look at it through a red glass, all seems red and rosy; if through a blue, all
blue; if through a smoked one, all dull and dingy. Always try then to look at
the bright side of things as almost everything in the world has a bright side.
There are some persons whose smile, the sound of whose voice, whose very
presence seems like a ray of sunshine and brightens a whole room. Greet
everybody with bright smile, kind words and a pleasant welcome. It is not
enough to love those who are near and dear to us. We must also show that we do
so. While, however, we should be grateful, and enjoy to the full the
innumerable blessings of life, we cannot expect to have no sorrow or anxieties.
