Why not try to be on a roll,
Why let sadness take a heavy toll?
To be happy to yourself you owe,
Why give way easily to moroseness and woe?
Many storms of life will buffet your rafter,
Have the courage to hide your pain behind your laughter,
When life at you the gauntlet does throw,
Do not start howling, don’t knit your brow,
Your defiant laughter at destiny throw,
And see the powerlessness of every angst and woe,
Your invincible courage will take you places in life
Which with ironies and vulnerabilities is rife,
When you laugh, the world will be rooting for you,
There is no better mantle to wear, nothing finer to do!
So be on a roll
Till time takes its toll,
And above you join the luminous stars
Where there is no mortal agony of endless wars,
Wars within and wars without
Which in this world like mushrooms sprout!

Well said Sir! Every adversity in life tests one’s courage and strength. By exhibiting high level of courage and strength, one can overcome any adversity. It is the only way to move forward in life. Else, one will feel like a victim every time and get stuck in a negative spiral.

Outstanding, sir! 👏🏼👏🏼👌🏻
Congratulations on ur sublime creation!💐💐
Has the Kurukshetra war ended? No… and the battlefield is much more bloody- our consciouness. We need to be stoic(sthitpragya), going with the flow.Renunciation in action, not of action. We tend to turn again to the Bhagavad Gita for light.😊
Superb!
Much food for thought… again!
