Why Suffer?...
Oriza Martins
Why lament the darkened day,
if tomorrow the sun will return glorious?
Why sadden ourselves
with the severity of winter,
if spring is coming soon
to cover the nature with colors and loves?
Why live remembering
ominous souvenirs of the past,
if the life is to our front and
it should be enjoyed?
Why close the heart to future relationships,
if we are born to love, to love… and to love?
Why insist on the cold solitude
and not enjoy the warm presence of someone?
Why discourage ourselves because of financial difficulties
if we have a great potential to face challenges?
Why suffer because of problems of health
and not to use optimism - the way to win all battles?
Finally…As great Poets say:
“I cannot choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.”
Or…
“Pain can be inevitable, but Suffering is optional.”
