In the roller coaster called life, we experience thrill and at
times are scared to death. When things don’t go our way we get disappointed and
enter into a state of depression. We jump to conclusion that the end is near
and life has come to a dead end. And that is when optimism comes to our rescue.
Similar to the roller coaster, life will move from one state to
the other. We should acknowledge that the troublesome periods will not last
forever. It should always be borne in mind that better days will follow the
difficult times. It is always darkest just before the crack of dawn. So we
should not be discouraged about ourselves when the happenings don’t meet our
expectations. Instead we have to keep the light of our hopes glowing by
lighting the candles of optimism.
When a dark cloud blocks the sunlight, there can be seen a shimmer
of silver lining on the boundary of cloud indicating that a bright light is
just behind the nimbus. Thus it is said that every cloud has a silver lining.
The cloud may be dark & thick enough to mask the sun for a while however it
doesn’t stay there forever. Even though the huge body of the cloud encompasses
the life’s difficulties which may seem unbearable, a ray of hope glimmers in
the form of silver outline. Eventually the cloud gives way to bright sunlight.
