How true! I realised this years ago when an acquaintance berated a friend because she was taking her daily work too seriously, "Lighten up - life could be so much worse! If you'd lived MY life..." What she didn't know was that my friend's son had just died and she was trying her hardest to carry on. I've never forgotten this lesson.

Beautiful sentiment. I love Kay Nielsen's illustrations.
ReplyDeleteSo true. Beautiful but savage illustration.
