The difficulties are many. Even the most fortunate of us suffers times of sorrow and sickness, disappointment and despair. All of us know fear and frustration, sadness and depression. Sooner or later, we all watch loved ones die, and we eventually die ourselves. This is hardly a new discovery.
Life is difficult to understand.
We are born dazed and helpless, finding ourselves in a world overflowing with mystery. Yet our world is only a speck of cosmic dust in a remote uncharted corner of a vast, unfathomable universe. No wonder life feels so mysterious and we sometimes reel in bewilderment. Yet life can be exciting and joyful. There are countless wonders to explore and people to meet, and the world holds places of breathless beauty.
