When life is painful and tiring

Manuel Costa writes that life often brings unexpected changes and periods of suffering that feel like an endless fall. He notes that even when life seems calm, it can be a precursor to new difficulties.

Costa observes that despite having enough to be happy, life can still feel exhausting and painful. He concludes that there are moments of peace where one can find the serenity to believe that past suffering was worthwhile because of what lies ahead.
