ππππ₯π§π¦ππ₯ππ£π§ | βPain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great people must, I think, have great sadness on earth.β
from Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
In this quote, Fyodor Dostoevsky reveals to people that the majority of time, the most extraordinary and exceptional people on earth are also the ones that suffer and experience pain the most.
Whether it be physical or emotional, the world always has its own way to test everyoneβs strength. Every obstacle in life is temporary and short lived, even in the darkest nights of the storm, the sun will still rise and the rain will pass.
This piece serves as a reminder to every unique person that is reading thisβas a student, as a child, as a Filipinoβto never lose hope for whatever may come. No matter how lonely, frigid, somber, or hopeless it may be, there will always be light at the end of the tunnel.
