Rumi said most powerfully, I lost everything I had, but in the process I found myself, I found God, I did not need anything else-even in loosing of everything there was something deeper I gained.

'Khalil says, The flute that soothes your spirit is carved from the very wood that is hollowed with knives.'

When we hear that flute is playing such a nice music and soothing our spirit, let us remember, so goodness does not just come, joy comes from pain and pain from joy.

'When we see night, we appreciate the day.'

'When we see darkness, we appreciate the light.'

'When we see sorrow, we appreciate the joy.'

'When we see beauty, we appreciate nature.'

welcome back

Thanks for the post Frank, makes me stop and remember sometimes to smell the roses.

Frank, you're making it difficult for me to be cynical and abrasive!!

please, smell them time to time, they're all yours

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.


The world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming it.

Very True...Frank...It's through the trials in our lives that we learn and grow...

OOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSSSS...

Native_Gurl, I agree but in many cases, we do not learn and grow and waste ouselves with things that won't be necessary for us in life

Lessons learned are like bridges burned...you only have to cross them but once. It is what we take from our experiences-good or bad-and by applying this to our lives, we learn.
