"A man is the sum of his misfortunes. One day you'd think misfortune would get tired but then time is your misfortune"

Imagine a person standing in the midst of their life's challenges, feeling weighed down by the burdens of misfortune that seem to define their existence. Each setback, each struggle, each heartache adds to the complex tapestry of their being, shaping them into the person they are today.

At times, it may feel like misfortune is an unrelenting force, constantly throwing obstacles in their path and testing their resilience. They may wonder when it will all end, when they will finally catch a break and find some reprieve from the hardships that seem to follow them like a shadow.

But as they navigate through life's trials and tribulations, they come to realize that time itself can be a source of misfortune. The passage of time can bring about new challenges, new struggles, and new setbacks, adding to the ever-growing list of misfortunes that shape their identity.

Yet, despite the weight of their misfortunes, they find strength in the knowledge that every obstacle they overcome, every hardship they endure, only serves to make them stronger and more resilient. They learn to embrace their misfortunes as opportunities for growth and self-discovery, knowing that each setback is a stepping stone on the path to becoming the best version of themselves.

They understand that misfortune is not a punishment or a curse, but rather a necessary part of the human experience. It is through facing adversity and overcoming challenges that they are able to truly appreciate the moments of joy and success that life has to offer.

So, as they continue on their journey through life, they carry with them the knowledge that they are not defined by their misfortunes, but rather by how they choose to respond to them. They are a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, capable of turning even the darkest moments into opportunities for growth and transformation.

And so, they embrace each new day with a sense of optimism and determination, knowing that no matter what misfortunes may come their way, they have the strength and courage to face them head-on and emerge stronger on the other side.

We are of opinion that instead of letting books grow moldy behind an iron grating, far from the vulgar gaze, it is better to let them wear out by being read.
