Just A Thought ~ WISH-FULFILLMENT

"It is not good for all our wishes to be filled. Through sickness we recognize the value of health; through evil, the value of good; through hunger, the value of food; through exertion, the value of rest."

~ Greek Saying ~

Our wishes seldom come true, and this is just as well, for we would lose our resilience and become soft if they did. Usually, we just have to come to terms with things as they are, and, if we don't like them, find a way around, through or over them. Life has always been like this, and there's no reason to suppose it will ever be any different. Magic wands are things from fairy-tales. Most of what we have has come about through work and struggle ~ on someone's part, if not our own ~ rather than by wishing and praying.
