Why is a person born on Earth? Optimists claim that for happiness; pessimists - for torment. But the truth, as we know, is in the middle. And the author of this book, Lyubov LARKINA, reveals to the reader this diverse and wide spectrum of our life, in which both sharp thorns and delicate rose petals are sufficiently present. And our task is not to be deluded by the sweet world of unrealizable illusions, nor to fall into despondency and a state of depression from the many seemingly insoluble difficulties and problems of life, but to carry our cross with dignity: “... Let the path be difficult and long, But murmur to you do not know! Raise your cross carefully onto your shoulders and move on.”
