They always say \u201cwe know it\u2019s bad but better days are ahead\u201d.
That is what they said when I lost my job.
Fews weeks later I lost the house too.
A friend called. We spoke for a while. He ended the call with \u201chang in there, better days are ahead\u201d.
Then I lost my best friend in a car accident.
They came, we mourned, they consoled me with \u201cbetter days are ahead\u201d.
When the diagnosis came after spending lots of hours in the halls of different hospitals;
Guess what they said; \u201cbetter days are ahead\u201d.
But I ended up spending even more hours in those same halls.
And then the war came. And it was terrible, brutal, It was non-stop chaos.
In the midst of it all, they kept reiterating that better days were ahead.
\u201cKeep the faith, have hope\u201d.
I tried to believe them.
I really did.
But I\u2019ve come to terms with reality. Better days are not ahead.
And if they are to come, then not in this world, perhaps the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
