When everything falls apart, if you can stand up and laugh, then you’ve lived a life. Otherwise, you have simply existed like a machine. Laughter is most needed when the world is caving in. Stand up and laugh. Then you have seen life in its vastness.
Imagine a big river is flowing, and at one particular point, there’s a stone. The water splashes against the stone, trying to pass over it. When the water hits the stone, does anything happen to the water? Does it break?
Similarly, all the events cannot break the spirit in you. Even events that appear to be insurmountable cannot break the spirit because life moves on. Just like the water flows on, in the same way the current of life is a continuum. It may appear blocked here or stagnant there, it is just an appearance. It's not the reality.
