Without experiencing descend, one cannot appreciate ascend,
Without meeting sorrow, one cannot experience joy,
Without exposure to sadness, one cannot value happiness,
Without sobs and cries, one cannot venerate smile and laughter,
Without coming in contact with pain, one cannot acknowledge well being,
Without contracting an illness, one cannot treasure good health.
Life is a series of experiences, which are sent to us on a need to know and need to grow basis. I see experiences as branches of trees, growing in different directions, shaping our beliefs, our mind and our psyche.
Welcome each one of the experience by seeing it, feeling it and experiencing it because, your experience is solely yours, nurture it and grow with it !!
So very well said, Deepika! Your words remind me of a time in Bangalore when my Kannadiga neighbors used to celebrate Ugadi with neem leaves and jaggery that symbolizes the bitterness and sweetness of life’s experiences.

Yes, it’s still very much a custom here. They distribute bevu Bella, – been leaves and jaggery.
Thank you pranitha.

Life is what we make out of the experiences. We have the option of whining about it, or take it as a challenge to emerge stronger from it. It is left to us.
Beautifully put across Deepika 👌
