Truth of Life

What’s the meaning of dawn without Night
You need Darkness to see the light
What’s success without Impossibilities
Hardships always bring out abilities

Life does not have a meaning
When you know you cannot die
Death is always necessary
To give Life one more try

What is happiness without Sorrow
You need today to see Tomorrow
You know it only when you cry
What Magic lies in your eye

It is only because of Droughts
That you welcome the rains
What is the meaning of freedom
If you are not Bound in chains

What is knowledge without Ignorance
What is peace without Nuisance
There is passion to learn and understand
Only when Chaos rules the land

There is no meaning to God
When there exist no Demons
There is no point in proving something
Where there exist no Reasons

So be thankful to get Pain and Sorrow
Be eager to have Darkness and Tomorrow
Praise the creator for creating Demons and Disease
And for bringing War and Strife
Thank your lucky stars when you were born
‘Cause they didn’t put DEATH at the beginning of LIFE!

From the moment we are inside the womb, we are life. Our mother, or most mothers, are grateful for being able to bring life to the world. If there is no life inside her, the mother wouldn't go through the changes she goes through, physically and emotionally. When she feels something moving and kicking inside her, it is a life that is yet to be born. Samip doesn't speak of "death" not being put before "birth", he mentions "death" not being put before "life".

lofty assendant words very high--but let me stand on the ladder and engage-- wisdom has found a place here--but it still shrouds itself a little that we assend not to high. humbly...o
