Dear Life,
You cannot subdue me because I refuse to take your discipline and tantrums too seriously. When you hurt me I laugh it off, for laughter knows no pain. I appreciate your joys wherever I find them, but your sorrows neither sadden me nor discourage me, for I laugh with my soul. Temporary defeat doesn't make me sad, yet I simply set music to the words of defeat and turn into an inspiring song! When you give me lemons, I make lemonade out of it and enjoy! Your tears are not for me, for I prefer laughter more, and because I like it better, I use it all the time, whether in grief, and sorrow and pain and disappointment.
Life, you love to tease me — don’t you deny it. You slip the emotions of obsession, jealousy, possessiveness, and desires into my heart so that you might use them as thorns with which to prick my soul — but I have learned to dodge your trap with pure love. You try to lure me with the desire for gold, but I fool you by following the trail that leads to knowledge instead. You induce me to build beautiful friendships — then convert my friends to enemies so you may harden my heart, but I dodge you by laughing off at your attempts and selecting new friends in my own way. You want me to give up, but I refuse to give in. You want to instill hatred in my soul for you but I choose to love you even more for all your failed attempts!
You cause others to cheat me so I will become distrustful, but I win again because I possess one precious asset which no one can steal — it is the power to think my own thoughts and to be myself. The more people cheat me the more determined I am to spread trust and personal responsibility in this world. You want to pull me down, but like a Pulley, it gives me more strength to rise even higher. You build a fire of hope in my heart, then sprinkle water on the flames, but I do better by rekindling the fire — and I laugh at you every time you do that.
You have nothing that can lure me away from laughter and love, that I am so fond of, and you are powerless to scare me into submission to anything otherwise. I know one day, when you will get tired of taming me down, you will threaten me with death, but death to me is just a new start. So you see my dear life, you can never stop me from loving you!
So to a life of laughter and love, then, I raise my toast! And on the other side of death, as and when we meet again, I will welcome you with open arms and our saga will continue from where we left and this will go on forever and ever. For I am in love with Life and you cannot make me feel, think, or be otherwise! Cheers!!!
