Spiritual Furniture

Life can be likened to a piece of furniture - a chest of drawers or a cupboard - that is either suddenly smashed by a collapsing ceiling or slowly eroded by a woodworm till it is totally ruined. The timings are different, the final result is the same. Things happen in different ways: a sudden negative event that changes your life in a whim or a slow transformation due to disappointment, regrets, sorrow... Sad situation? Certainly. Can it be avoided? Hardly. What to do? Accept it and try to also identify the positive events that took place. How to do it? By becoming aware that you survived the "crash", and by remembering the small victories beside the disappointments, the little joys beside the sorrow.
