"Life is not always about finding the brightside of every situation. It’s more about taking each moment and finding the beauty in it, whether tragic or bright. Often times we consider “living life to the fullest” to be a way of life characterized by high hopes, ambitions, and dreams - with little regard for the things that may bring us down. However, tragedy is as much a part of life as joy is, and while it is a less pleasant life experience, it is a life experience nonetheless. To live life to the fullest means exactly that: to live a full life - filled with a variety of experiences. It is because we experience joy that we are able to recognize the depth of sadness, and it is through suffering that we come to know compassion and the significance of hope. "
