It Is true that sometimes life can be frustrating and painful in many ways

It Is true that sometimes life can be frustrating and painful in many ways. We may hope for successes, but we may end up with failures, and sometimes we do not expect something to happen, but it happens. In my own experience, I have gone through my ups and down, and it seem that my own life is also not always rosy, however, these misfortunates never really affect me deeply because what I have learned from the dharma has helped a great deal. And also, I do not hold on to feelings of good or bad, and I genuinely prefer to keep it in the past. Moreover, my logic is simple: I always treasure precious friendships, and when the time comes to give them up, I will let them go without grievances, because holding to these does not give us happiness and satisfaction. Instead, such an attitude becomes the source of our pain. Thus, in my opinion, life is beautiful and precious, yet complicated, and we have to learn when to let go and when to hold tight.
