“I wish my life would just end” is one of the phrases that are conventionally uttered by a victim of intense depression and self loathing. As we all know, life is not always a bed of roses. Life is intermittently juxtaposed with its ups and downs. While we savour in the splendour of the ‘ups’, we are caught off guard by the inescapable ‘downs’. We need to muster the strength to leap out of the miserable rut as a strong human being. To us, one negligible problem is equivalent to carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders. The world is a battlefield and we’re all warriors for the kingdom that is indeed our life, our happiness! The world is a vicious cycle of trials and tribulations during which we unknowingly have a blast. By giving up, we have everything to lose. Staying strong right to the end is the key to living a life with fewer regrets. Hit upon the quotes that follow and let them inspire you to stay strong.
