Well, that was life. Gladness and pain...hope and fear...and change. Always change! You could not help it. You had to let the old go and take the new to your heart...learn to love it and then let it go in turn. Spring, lovely as it was, must yield to summer and summer lose itself in autumn. The birth...the bridal...the death...
The excerpt reflects on the dualities of life, highlighting how joy and sorrow coexist. It emphasizes that life is a constant cycle of experiencing hope and fear, and the inevitability of change. One must learn to embrace new experiences while also letting go of the past, acknowledging that growth often requires this transition.
The metaphor of the seasons illustrates this cycle beautifully; spring gives way to summer, which transitions into autumn, symbolizing life's milestones from birth to death. Each stage is essential, and the acceptance of change fosters personal development and resilience.
