Life is what it is

Bill Watterson, the creator of the cartoon strip 'Calvin and Hobbes' wrote: "Life is never so bad that it can't get worse" - a highly meaningful statement that wreaks of sheer positivity and optimism. For those who have watched the beautiful movie 'Fault in Our Stars' (one of my favourite movies) or read the same book, will know the meaning of 'saving the ten' for the ultimate pain. Till then it's always a nine!

Life's so unpredictable and short that we don't have time for grievances or complaints, let alone being dissatisfied. It is we who are instrumental in lending meaning to life. 

“Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.” 
(Viktor Frankl)

Let's make our stay more fruitful by leaving all grudges, resentments, animosity, grievances aside and make the most of what's available to us. That's a life's little lesson, worth following every inch of it! Amen!
