Where there is life, there is struggle. Pain may wither our body, but it pales when it tries to knock us down!
The following pictures may shed light on a very important point in our lives:
Disaster comes with mercy, death is our best doctor.
I stop crying, but tears keep on streaming.
Beneath my veins lurks the pain of parting with a loved one.
Nobody can be your shelter.
We are still lucky, as misfortunes could be worse.
Beneath the scar is a beating heart.
Love eases the pain.
Let's fight this together to the very end.
I am already old.
I am grateful that I can still open my eyes.
Lament did I, for your leaving,
Crying am I, for you are alive.
Love is stronger than death.
May all those who suffer weather the pain, and all the survivors cherish the moment.
