Perhaps the day may come when we shall remember these sufferings with joy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
Everywhere across whatever sorrows of which our life is woven, some radiant joy will gaily flash past.
We live from day to day and get as much joy out of experiencing as we can.
That's the great paradox of living on this earth, that in the midst of great pain you can have great joy as well. If we didn't have those things we'd just be numb.
We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.
May we be saved from evil thoughts and deed of enemies of world peace who find pleasure in creating havoc and perpetrating all forms of carnage.
Suffering has roused them from the sleep of gentle life, and every day fills them with a terrible intoxication. They are now something more than themselves; those we loved were merely happy shadows.
There are souls in this world which have the gift of finding joy everywhere and of leaving it behind them when they go.
The joys we expect are not so bright, nor the troubles so dark as we fancy they will be.
How can we love days that are filled with sorrow? We can't - at least not in the moment.
