This is a story! A happy story? Perhaps! There is so much poverty around. Does poverty and happiness go together? Well, it certainly isn’t the prerogative of only the rich. Contrasts are a reality! A way of life! Happy and sad, rich and poor, night and day co-existing together Makes for a pretty picture. They follow each other, Are inseparable, Running around, Hand in hand, Drawing comfort from each other. That is humanity’s destiny, I guess. We run around making choices Between the two, While ignoring the fact That they co-exist and comes as a package. If only we could stop trying To make a choice between the two! Being comfortable with either, Acceptance of the inevitability of both together Will make for a happy tale!

Peaceful co-existence is definitely something to strive for!

Not sure if the girls represent poverty and prosperity and which is which, so I’m a bit hesitant to like

No worries! The theme of my write is basically to rise above these contrasts rather than make a choice or distinction between the two. These are realities but the idea should be to avoid making a choice of choosing between the them. Have a wonderful day. 🙂
