TWO SIDES TO A COIN 

By Katherine Scherer and Eileen Bodoh

For each flower counted, might there be a weed? 

For each ray of sunshine, might there be a cloud? 

For each frown on somebody’s face, might there be a smile? 

One wonders if the world can be a greater place if solely peace have been discovered. Sure, we are saying, it definitely would. However then we should ask how we’d know peace if we didn’t ”t know battle? How would we all know heat if we didn’t know chilly? How would we all know love if we didn’t know hate? 

As good because it appears our world can be with out battle, with out chilly and with out hate, the truth of our world doesn’t exist with out these items. Who doesn’t discover fault with one other and wish to shut them down? Who doesn’t wish to really feel the heat as an alternative of the chilly? Who isn’t in search of love even when it’s all within the flawed locations? The battle is just not going away. The chilly sometimes provides approach to heat solely to be again once more. Discovering love in all of the flawed locations solely adjustments after we start to search out it from inside. 

The place is the battle, the chilly, and the hate? Is it inside us or do we-see it in one other which can solely be a mirror of ourselves? Reality, is it doesn’t matter the place we see it. It solely issues that when we see it, we take some time to alter it, to root it out, to change into a greater self. 

How have you ever identified the world all through your time? Give it some thought. There’s his world, her world, my world, your world, and their world. All totally different worlds however one world the identical. Completely different instances, totally different people, totally different strokes. We are likely to suppose that others ought to suppose like us, however clearly, all of us see issues otherwise. It’s known as perspective, and despite the fact that two or extra can take a look at the identical factor on the identical time, they will and do see issues otherwise due to their private perspective. One may even see magnificence whereas the opposite sees ugly. One may even see brown, the opposite black. A pet to 1 could carry ideas of pleasure whereas to a different it’s ideas of labor. It’s true we see with our thoughts. 

Do you know that ache and battle can carry hidden items? Do you know hardship can create an area the place reality and compassion are born? Struggling, typically seen as meaningless, could also be a possible catalyst for development and a deeper understanding of what’s most necessary in our lives. 

All life is a blessing! 

Remodeling views of adversity can supply a soothing reminder that each one life is a blessing. So how will we remodel? First, we take note of our ideas. We nourish those who bloom like flowers and toss out the weeds. Then we launch the ray of sunshine inside by lending our smile to others in our world. A smile for a beloved one, a baby or a good friend, and even a stranger. A smile from the center, let it start. And eventually, we select peace. We chortle and take life frivolously. We reply with love and kindness. We select peace.
