Who said
life is not a bed of roses? They were right. But in the light of a new reality,
they can be very wrong.
We all
strife to base our decision on well informed premises, and for these reasons,
we should put life in perspective, and enjoy life while it lasts.
Life is
actually more like bed of roses than you think, and the more you see the
sweet-bitter reality of life and decide to focus more on the sweet side, you
will live life at its best.
Is it not
the beautiful blossom of roses that we use to symbolize love and relevance? And
how appropriate for nature to have embedded in the same flower beauty, aroma
and last but significant – thorns.
Life is
really full of ups and downs. And life will be boring without them.
We should
therefore have the image well-formed and stored up in our mind that while we
may enjoy the fragrance in rolling over the bed of roses and the glamour of
being bathed in the colour, we must also be willing to endure the pricks of its
thorns.
Should we
then because of the thorns refuse the rose? No. We should rather as before
ground our focus on the better side of the blossom but denying the truth that
it has its pains will be unhealthy.
In essence,
we should take life as it is. But we should focus more on the better part. If
there is no bad, good will be nothing. That said; the bad should not define our
outlook on life although it gives the good its significance.
There is
much good in seeing more of the good in life than the evil, though much.
If you
decide to be in the business of a cynic and a pessimist, you are in a wrong
profession and you are more likely than any other individual to be overwhelmed
by both the complexity and the evil in the world. Choose wisely; choose to live
life from its better side.
