Q1 of 22 Page 100

Say whether the following statement are true or false

Enjoyment or sorrow is our destiny.


False

According to the poet, neither enjoyment nor sorrow must be treated as the destiny of one’s life. Enjoyment and sorrow are just emotional phases, which keep coming and going depending on one’s actions. Therefore, actions, whether they are in the present or the future, are things that are of utmost importance. The true destiny of life, hence, is to act with full conviction and honesty each day, in the hope that an act today will beautify our tomorrows, and in this way take us ahead by one day at a time. The ultimate goal is merely living and acting in the present, rather than pondering over happiness and sorrow for the future.
