One life to live

“Our greatest ability as humans is not to change the world, but to change ourselves.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi. Life is long verily mostly pain, suffering and heartache and strong are the forces of fate, Albeit life may end up in vain Yet, we have to live this life without rue and make the days better that may ensue henceforth… A life we must strive to unravel and leave it behind us a tad better.

Most don’t say this (life is long verily) thus making a different point; and yes, one of pain and suffering. Yes let’s make a difference! Congrats!

Life is mostly a struggle endowed with pain and suffering. Yet we should strive to make it as enjoyable and meaningful as possible. Enjoyed your inspirational contemplations on life. Glad to see you after a long gap.
