“We must be willing to encounter darkness and despair when they come up to find the true light.”
— Jon Kabat Zinn
Simplified Meaning:
Life isn't always easy; sometimes we go through really tough times that make us feel sad and hopeless. These dark moments are part of everyone’s journey. Imagine someone who wants to climb a big mountain. They have to go through dangerous, slippery paths and maybe even stormy weather. But if they keep going, step by step, they eventually reach the top and see the beautiful view that makes all the struggles worth it. Just like the climber, we have to face our problems and fears head-on to experience happiness and peace. It's like finding a light at the end of a dark tunnel. So, when you face difficulties, remember that going through them makes you stronger and leads to better days ahead. This mindset can help you to stay positive and keep moving forward, no matter how tough things get.
