The mind of a human being is like the weather.
It’s ephemeral.
One moment it makes him happy, another moment it makes him sad.
It is like a house of cards. Always at the brink of collapse.
A kind word or fortunate event brightens its skies.
A harsh word or unfortunate event darkens it with heavy clouds.
Like a pendulum, if it swings one way, wait for it, it will swing the other way in equal measure.
One may be having the best day of his life. But a slight change in circumstance will send the mind tumbling down like dominoes.
The mind makes a man feel like an emperor in one moment and like a beggar the next.
One may relish the sunny days or savour the rainy days but he need not be attached to the weather.
Life is life
