Each of us has, according to Albert Camus, an invincible summer. The quote, which is translated variously, is: "It was in the midst of winter that I discovered in me an invincible summer."
We will have tremendous challenges as we muddle our way through life. It's the nature of life to be filled with both joy and despair. One of our main goals as we live it should be to find a middle road.
We enjoy the blissful joy but not the despair. Yet, would we enjoy the former so much if we did not know the latter? I'll not say that I enjoy the "winter" but I will say that I understand why we have it. I will also say that I'm supremely grateful to have discovered my own "invincible summer".
