Life is this path and life is that path. Sometimes it is a beautiful path, while most of the times it is otherwise. Life is not a bed of roses and thus requires more courage to live than to die. Living is an instinct, but living a beautiful life is an art, not all artists master. With broken facets, smudged colors and shattered pieces, we paint a bigger picture on the canvas of life. 
Thinking rationally, we should prepare for the worst as we are more prone to finding the difficult path in our life. Chins up, as this path doesn’t hold hardships more than what we can endure.
