Just Another thought !!!

I was just sitting and wondering, What is more difficult to bear?
i. Your own hardships ? or

ii. Your Loved ones' hardships and pains ?
I guess, our loved ones' hardships....Because when you are in trouble, you can help yourself and search for solutions. But when your loved ones face hardships, it brings such pain that will burn you every second.
The worst part is not being able to help them.
That very feeling of helplessness.
A tear from their eyes is enough to keep you awake whole night or put you into that gloomy mood  for the whole week.
But then I read somewhere, "Let your loved ones struggle...Else, you will retard their growth and deprive them of the lessons which only life can teach......"
Life is a struggle for each and everyone of us.
If we can get through a day at a time without much 'fuss' then half of the battle is already won.

We all read the fundas of life in so many novels, books and stories......but we can only truly understand their meaning  when we experience them ourselves.

.....nothing really new here but a thought that is true forever.
