Life is a journey and a trial. This is a very subjective thought, since it depends on the outlook one has on life. Someone can go though a hardship and still perceive life as a journey instead of a trial. They see the rough path as a stepping stool to better times, a learning curve to improve oneself. They might not cherish every single moment of it, but they will not let the hardship defeat them, they persevere, they come out stronger and wiser. These thoughts sparked a poem that I wrote not too long ago. Here it goes…
They Say
They say it must rain a lot
For it to be called rain
They say one must suffer a lot
For there to be a gain
–
The gain of life experiences
That lead through valleys of pain
Hold on to your umbrella
And don’t mind the emotional drain
