Ups and downs are part and parcels of life
It is said that everything that goes up also comes down. A rocket goes up and comes down when all its fuel is consumed. The share market goes up and down depending on whether it is a bull or a bear run. During summer, the temperature rises up and falls during winter. In a similar way, our lives also travel a zig-zag way with many uphills and downhills. Sometimes we are burdened with the hardest of struggles and at other times, life is a cakewalk for us. However, one thing that should not go down is our will, spirit or enthusiasm for life, no matter how bad things might turn up for us. Whether in the best of times or the worst of hardships, never lose hope or fail to see the beauty of life. It is when we start accepting life as a roller coaster with its numerous ups and downs that we are able to let go of our worries and disappointments. It is because she could not manage her anxieties when chips were down that a TV actress recently did suicide over a failed relationship. Realizing early that not worldly possessions, but leading a life where you are more of a giver than a taker, helps you accept the ups and downs of life and that in turn leads us to true happiness. Even the mighty Sun after being up the whole day, also has to come down before nightfall everyday.Entry for Word pair forum challenge
