Katherine's+Philosophy


 * Personal Philosophy Statement: Always maintain a positive attitude. Life is hard, but don't let those hard times get to you. They don't last forever, and the way one handles tough times is the true test of character. Always live life with a smile. **

A sense of insufferable gloom has pervaded my spirit- t[|error that scares me]. The twilight darkens, and breathless darkness makes you grow sick at heart.

No real pleasure in life- It's a sad picture. The final blow hits you- unspeakable tragedies and hopes you couldn't even begin to express.

But to despair is to wish back for something already lost or to prolong something already unbearable. All crime will be punished and virtured rewarded. Things will change.

So let the sun shine from behind the cloud, and hereafter there shall be no veil over my face, no darkness between our souls. Nothing can befall me in life- The living word of faith and spirit of hope depart not from me. [|Life is long and love is deep](3:33-3:55). The wide universe is full of good, and every morning a cheerful invitation.

Life is God's most precious gift, so let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature. Live with a smile, and make it all worthwhile. Make it all worthwhile.

Through all sorrow there breathes a hope, and you must teach this lesson: How to lose your innocence but not your hope. How to laugh forever.
