Life is full of many ups and downs, pain and pleasure, weal and woe, suffering and enjoyment. It is not an easy bed of roses. We must always be ready to face pain, sufferings and woes, because nobody knows what the future has in store for us. One cannot foretell when sufferings and troubles will befall him. So he must keep prepared for it. Pleasure or happiness is only like a silver lining in a dark cloud. Most of the life is full of pains and suffering for most of the people.
The school of adversity is the best school to teach. Pains, woes and sufferings come to teach us a lesson. Each suffering or trouble makes us wiser and stronger. These are a steeping stone to success. If we face the troubles and sufferings boldly with courage and perseverance, we are sure to succeed. A famous English poet H.W. Longfellow has put in the greatness of suffering in the following verse.
Oh! Fear not in a world like this,
And thou shalt know ’ese long-
That how sublime a thing it is
To suffer and be strong.
We must not grumble, when we have to suffer. We must know that dark night will end and a bright day will follow. We must not be cowed down by sufferings and troubles. We must bear them with full faith in God. We must suffer the woes boldly and patiently, believing strongly that we must come out successful one day.
Adversity gives us a firm determination and strength of mind. Sufferings teach us to inculcate in ourselves the qualities, which enable us to bear them and come out with flying colors. We must not be discouraged by sufferings and failures in life. We should bear them optimistically, keeping in mind, that we shall overcome these difficulties and shall be victorious in the long run.
