Every now and then you, like everybody else, undergo difficult spells. Your body may ache, you may have a quarrel with a dear one, maybe your finances are troubling you or a project you cared a lot about fails... No-one is immune from the challenges that life seems to enjoy throwing at you. Being alive means you have to accept the rules (or the seemingly lack of them) that govern the world. The hardest part of accepting some predicaments is the fact that you don't understand the reason for their happening. They just materialize, as sudden and 'pleasant' as a brick falling on your head, whose provenance you are totally unaware of. What to do to minimize their effect on your spirit? Once again, it's hard to say. There is no recipe to sweeten the bitter taste or lift up your mood. Accept them willingly, as you cannot avoid them? Socrates said "Yes" when he was compelled to drink the hemlock.
