Life is not a bed of roses


Life is not a bed of roses; it is a bed of thorns. It is a continuous struggle. The child has to struggle to stand on its own legs. The young people have to struggle for survival. Old people have to struggle with the problems of old age. even people on their deathbed have to struggle for their life till the end comes. This makes life burdensome. But hope is one thing which sustains life. If we put a cheerful disposition and face the problems as they arise cheerfully, and with hope and confidence, the burden of life is not so keenly felt. It has, therefore, been rightly said that burdens become light when cheerfully borne.
