6 0

The winter solstice is again upon the Northern Hemisphere, and though the year's shortest day heralds the onset of winter it also promises the gradual return of the sun after a prolonged period of darkness.

That there are holidays at the time of this astronomical event is no coincidence. Since ancient times, people have celebrated the solstice and observed it with many different cultural and religious traditions. Some of them survive to the present day—though not always in the form you might expect.

GUIDED QUESTION

artcher [175]

Answer:

You might be highly frustrated today. But it's a good life anyway.

For example, people might cheat you, lie to you, and blame you for problems they themselves create. Even so, life has infinite capacity for goodness and fulfillment.

Furthermore, a whole lot of things cause you a whole lot of trouble. Yet when you step back and take a good, clear look, you see without question that life is well worth the trouble.

Therefore, it's all too easy to imagine sometimes that things are hopeless. But then you remember you've survived a lot worse, and in fact thrived, and so have many, many others.

So, yes, at times life is tough. And it is precisely those times that enable you to see how very good life can be.

In conclusion, whatever the situation, life is good when you decide it is good. And it's your decision to make right now.
