For all the suffering.....

Rough is the road to happiness

- HESIOD -

 

A lot of sweat put the immortal gods

to the forefront of the virtue reaching endeavor.

Long and hard and painful

the road to happiness in the begining.

But when you get there,

it becomes so easy

and pleasant that you forget

all the hardships that preceded.
