Through whatever turmoil you are going through may you find peace and assurance knowing you are not alone, that someone else is going through something similar, someone has passed this way before, and someone else will possibly follow after you...
G-d knows I have cried my eyes dry for the pain and suffering of decent beings... but in the end, I have come to realize that it is perhaps worth the tears to see a small moment of triumph, to experience a single moment of pure elation... for in the midst of all that despair, that one moment stands out even more... and hopefully you hold on to it for dear life, because that is the spark of humanity... our common trials and tribulations is what keeps us together, it preserves us, makes us cry and laugh together... and while we may have quit on our own, if we lay there and cried under the skies, and realize that our mutual tears serve to nurture the tree of our basic, common humanity, soaking to the very depths where the roots lie; succoring it so that the branches can continue to extend,reach and strive for the skies ... then perhaps we can then seek to climb further up its branches, and reach for the skies.
Indeed... our existence seems futile and trivial if we can not step back and appreciate the collective experience. The meaning of life lies in transcending ourselves, going beyond our immediate faculties and understand that we are part of something greater... that we are not alone, but united across time and space continuum by the river of blood, sweat and tears shed in pursuit of something greater. Succored by the knowledge we are not alone in messing up, we gain courage to try even harder...perhaps the acceptance of collective failure is what we need to dare ourselves to move even farther, bypassing doubt and paralyzing fear of being alone...
