Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser (1975-1983) was famous for giving the quoted George Bernard Shaw, "Life should not be easy, my child, but take courage: wonderful! Is It" It 's very unfortunate that Fraser only the first line, which is rather unpleasant and difficult to hear. Shaw quote from his book "Back to Methuselah, it is converted by the second sentence. Fraser was very clearly, and perhaps unfairly, criticized the" snob "State of mind with which the comment was made.
I remember first hearing Fraser quote used by my mother. And they often used. Or was it also had often as a response to any reaction neither me nor my brothers, "Rough Justice" (distorted perception of the child's) education. "This is life", also known as Tom Collins said.
But these hard life sentence is a truism. That was never pony. It is not easy for everyone. Each of us has to suffer somesuffer more than others, obviously. Some are really suffering because of decisions they make in life, and some suffer simply because of the situation in which place they have. In other words, for the latter, it is not their fault.
Life is for character growth. This is faith. One who has no faith is doomed to suffer more. One that has a lot of faith are still suffering. In reality, that is by faith (which, moreover, have faith, courage, and howCourage are synonymous) is open to much more suffering in reality, but their faith and not much seems to suffer less. They simply have a better way to face the trials of life.
Life should not be easy ... and do not forget the second bit. But courage is adorable. This is certainly a wonderful revelation for all who pass, who can say that life was designed, heavy, require that the faith and courage, becauseHelp is at hand, because in the words of the prophets "Every valley shall be exalted, without any low mountains and hills, the uneven ground shall become level, the rugged places a plane." (Isaiah 40:4) If we have a direct path to the Lord in our lives, he comes and makes things easier ... not easy, just easier. The problem is for the person who does not believe in God, it also requires a mustard seed of faith, "giving it a try." (Many can not risk their pride to the humility we need to give God theMoments, he needs to make a difference in their lives. A challenge: give a real month. A month in which the courage of your hand is real life for him.)
Life will never be easy. It 'was designed to be easy if we were a rite of passage in the new dimension: the final size.
What we say now, then? Perhaps a good way is to look at. "If life is not easy for me, how difficult it is for the unfortunate who haseven harder than me? "It 's a great blessing in life to know that there are literally millions of other people on this earth for a number of reasons, deprived of the comfort we ourselves live every day. There is a great blessing that no one else to go, but it is a great blessing that you can have a lot in comparison.
Truly the most beautiful thing on earth is to help someone less fortunate than ourselves. This has nothing to do with material wealth. Some people are maturerich, but mentally I'm very poor. A spiritual person can help this kind of person who are less fortunate. Someone has to get to know the blessing of God, his serenity, his grace, his determination.
Smile. Life should not be easy. Can be transformed into a mirror when it's hard to smile and laugh hard? It could be worse! Take a look around. Look what you have: your senses, your sense of humor, the ability to walk, talk, etc. Well, this is a leapAssuming these things. I want to apologize to the rich, for example, if you're reading, but could not walk! Or you could talk! Or, he could not laugh, smell, see, hear, taste or touch!
Life should not be easy, but in truth, and prove faithful to God, may be pleasing to the courageous person in all of us.
Take courage and look on the bright side.
