When I was writing on this topic, I tried to think of the things that I treasured. Then one question came to my mind: \u2018Is there anything that isn\u2019t worth treasuring?\u2019<\/p>\n
We have always been told that we have to treasure our family, friends, health, lovers, etc. The reason is obvious \u2013 all these can give us what we want, such as pleasure and support. But what about the things that are often considered unpleasant, say pain and suffering? Does neglecting or avoiding them do more good than harm?<\/p>\n
Though we may be unwilling to admit, pain and suffering can actually be beneficial to us, depending on our attitude towards them. For instance, an illness reminds us about the needs of our bodies, mental pain implies an opportunity to grow and an enemy allows us to reflect on our behaviors. Without the so-called \u2018negative\u2019 or \u2018unpleasant\u2019 things, we won\u2019t be able to enjoy the positive or grow.<\/p>\n
Therefore, whenever my students are experiencing sadness or facing difficulties, I would encourage them by showing them the positive side of the situation, as I do to myself. Everything can be treasure if you decide to treasure it. It\u2019s all a matter of attitude. Life can always be enjoyable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
