The Inevitable The life we live is so short and twisted, every turn brings a new obstacle that has to be overcome, the heartaches and distresses sometimes are too hard to bear, it is the knowledge that the world is an equilibrium, may each of us persevere, the intense euphoric joy when life is created, is equaled in intense melancholy, as life is taken away, every birth means that there will be an inevitable death, the commitment of a man and a woman to take the solemn vow, to love and cherish each other for life, will someday be torn apart, the same hand of God that gives life, will take it away, but even knowing an inevitable death will come someday, it is the joy of living that gives us a hope for tomorrow
