    Life is not a bed of roses. There are more sorrows than joys in life‚ if someone thinks deeply about it and becomes upset‚ he can never be happy. We cannot ignore the bitter truths of life and can only search some moments of happiness to keep ourselves satisfied. The idea of a happy life differs from man to man.
