"This, too, shall pass."

According to a biblical tale, the wise king Solomon once challenged one of his courtiers to find words that would make any happy man sad and any sad man happy. Many days and nights had passed but the courtier still couldn't find the answer. One day, he met an old man and told the man his problem. The old man then carved out something on the courtier’s ring. The courtier returned to the king's palace. Upon seeing him, the king stood up, ready to laugh at the courtier's failure. But before he could say anything, the courtier gave him the ring. Written on it were the words: "This too shall pass".

Happiness will not last forever, do not be complacent.
Enjoy the bliss today, but always be ready for future upsets in your life.

Sadness will not last forever, be patient and strong.
Bear with it now, the bliss you are looking for will come soon.

Why is this so?
Because time never stops for anyone.
Whatever that is happening now, will pass.
No turning back.

The light at the end of a tunnel could mean two things:
salvation or an oncoming train.
Which is your opinion?
