The transience of most things

It is said that an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away."
- Abraham Lincoln -

Dear class, as you stay at home to frantically revise for the O level, I want you to stay focused. During this time, you may be irritated by people, passing comments, anxieties and mood swings, but remember, these shall pass away. Try and stay on track to tackle the more important things. Do not hesitate to seek solace in, and find your bearings from your God, friends and the stable core values in you.

Today, I encountered a thank-less soul and then a cheer-less one. One of those days . . . but I remember that this day shall just pass away too even if I choose to be bothered by them. So, I live and let live . . .
