During my stay in the ward, one wise patient told me...

There are people or situations that will come to us as a

a short time,

a season,

or lifetime.

And the people or situations that come for a short time or a season,

they are little detours we make in life that will bring encouragement, joy or even lessons that could last us during our lifetime.

So when lifetime's journey seems discouraging, it is these detours we have made that will keep us going.

I thank this patient for giving me this valuable advice.
