The other day I was watching some television and came across this little gem of a question – What is the one sentence that can cause happiness and sadness at the same time? I wasn’t sure if there was any such sentence which would cause happiness and sadness at the sadness at the same time. However, there is such a sentence and is used far too frequently in our day-to-day lives. The sentence is “This too shall pass”. We normally associate this saying when the going is tough. However, this is also true when everything is going according to your plan and life is full of happiness, joy and prosperity for one day things will change and these things will pass. This is such a profound saying. I didn’t realize this until I started to think on this a little bit more deeply and then realization hit me that just like bad times, good times shall pass as well and we might as well make the best out of the good times and make every moment count.
