I believe
We’re here to learn
To take our turn,
But do we choose
Or are we chosen
For the ups and downs,
Sink or swim,
Survive or drown
In the troubled waters
Of life.

These ups and downs are never so palpable (at least upto the 20th Century)before. The change, nevertheless, was as smooth as the passage of ‘age’ upon us. But when man has turned away from prayer to preying on Nature, their frequency and amplitude have increased.

I believe the ups and downs are challenges to help man to grow in spirit. Whether I’m right or not remains to be seen…
