Better Times Will Come

Better Times Will Come

Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
Don’t judge life by one difficult season.

Persevere through the difficult patches;
And better times are sure to come., some time or later.

  • anand said:

    there is morning after night
    ups against downs
    light against darkness
    hope against despair
    happiness aginst sorrow
    even trees grow leaves after spring
    somebody leaves a soul, it’s time for someone to be born again
    its the way of nature taking away something before giving something
    its nature way of keeping things balanced

    what is happiness without sorrow
    depth of happiness will be defined with how much of sorrow you had sufferred, its something like suppressing lots & lots of energy during hard times and eruupting the energy in happier times

  • Neil said:

    I agree. Its the circle of life. There is a cycle of happenings. As surely as night follows day, no state exists indefinitely. There will be good times after the bad and there will be challenging times after the good times. It is our character and our faith that levels off the gaps in between each peak and allows us to still prevail.

  • daughter of life said:

    True life is a circle that never ends.
    When somebody leaves the world somebody comes to the world.
    it may be hard to live the season of sorrow but remember there will be a season of happiness as season like no other.

    if you didn’t suffer in the past how would you get the real joy out of happiness?

  • Nioshka Madre Deus said:

    thats so true. the cirlce never ends.
    true happiness will be valued only after you experience sorrow.

    very true guys…i have a small story to add to it..THIS TOO SHALL PASS…..

    Once a king called upon all of his wise men and asked them, ” Is there a mantra or suggestion which works in every situation, in every
    circumstances, in every place and in every time. In every joy, every sorrow, every defeat and every victory? One answer for all questions?
    Something which can help me when none of you is available to advise me? Tell me is there any mantra?”

    All the wise men were puzzled by the King’s question. They thought and thought. After a lengthy discussion, an old man suggested
    something which appealled to all of them. They went to the king and gave him something written on paper, with a condition that the king
    was not to see it out of curiosity. Only in extreme danger, when the King finds himself alone and there seems to be no way, only then he can see it.
    The King put the papers under his Diamond ring.

    Some time later, the neighbors attacked the Kingdom. King and his army fought bravely but lost the battle. The King had to flee on his horse.
    The enemies were following him. getting closer and closer. Suddenly the King found himself standing at the end of the road - that road was
    not going anywhere. Underneath there was a rocky valley thousand feet deep. If he jumped into it, he would be finished…and he could not
    return because it was a small road…the sound of enemy’s horses was approaching fast. The King became restless. There seemed to be no way.

    Then suddenly he saw the Diamond in his ring shining in the sun, and he remembered the message hidden in the ring. He opened the diamond
    and read the message. The message was - ” THIS TOO SHALL PASS”

    The King read it . Again read it. Suddenly something struck him- Yes ! This too will pass. Only a few days ago, I was enjoying my
    kingdom. I was the mightiest of all the Kings. Yet today, the Kingdom and all his pleasure have gone. I am here trying to escape from
    enemies. Like those days of luxuries have gone, this day of danger too will pass. A calm came on his face. He kept standing there. The place
    where he was standing was full of natural beauty. He had never known that such a beautiful place was also a part of his Kingdom. The
    revelation of the message had a great effect on him. He relaxed and forgot about those following him. After a few minutes he realized that
    the noise of the horses and the enemy coming was receding. They moved into some other part of the mountains and were near him.

    The King was very brave. He reorganized his army and fought again. He defeated the enemy and regained his empire. When he returned to his
    empire after victory, he was received with much fanfare. The whole capital was rejoicing in the victory. Everyone was in afestive mood.
    Flowers were being showered on King from every house, from every corner. People were dancing and singing. For a moment King said to
    himself,” I am one of the bravest and greatest King. It is not easy to defeat me. With all the reception and celebration he saw an ego
    emerging in him.

    Suddenly the Diamond of his ring flashed in the sunlight and reminded him of the message. He open it and read it again: “THIS TOO SHALL
    PASS”. He became silent. His face went through a total change -from the egoist he moved to a state of utter humbleness. If this too is
    going to pass, it is not yours. The defeat was not yours, the victory is not yours. You are just a watcher. Everything passes by. We are
    witnesses of all this. We are the perceivers. Life comes and goes. Happiness comes and goes. Sorrow comes and goes.

    Now as you have read this story, just sit silently and evaluate your own life. This too will pass. Think of the moments of joy and victory
    in your life. Think of the moment of Sorrow and defeat. Are they permanent ? They all come and pass away. Life just passes away. There
    is nothing permanent in this world. Every thing changes except the law of change. Think over it from your own perspective. You have seen all
    the changes. You have survived all setbacks , all defeats and all sorrows. All have passed away.The problems in the present, they too
    will pass away. Because nothing remains forever. Joy and sorrow are the two faces of the same coin. They both will pass away.

    You are just a witness of change. Experience it, understand it, and enjoy the present moment -
    this too shall pass!
