“Life consists of two days, one
for you and one against you.
So, when it's for you, don't be
proud or reckless, and when it's
against you, be patient, for
both days are a test for you.”
This quotation is verily excellent, and precise in its meaning and principle.
You see, sometimes people begin with their lives being “for them,”
or “with them:” i.e., being born into a wealthy family of
merchants... and then descending into the depths
of poverty & penury. There were in the sixties
& seventies, extremely wealthy Egyptian
singers... at their deathbed and ends,
they were bankrupt and were found
with no money/or coins in their sacks
and pockets!
And on the other hand, we've seen those whose
lives began “against them,” and were born
into the poorest of families...
then, all of a sudden they became the wealthiest of
the wealthy.
