in one of them and think that it will last forever. We need to appreciate the nature
of life, if we understand the high with knowledge that it can possibly change, we
can look out for these things that can bring about a low with it we can retain
the high longer. The same is true about a low, the knowledge that things change
gives one the strength to go further. </font></p>
