Knowledge (Re-Do Pass)

If somehow, all knowledge (not just scientific) was destroyed, the one sentence that I would tell the next generation would be, “Believe in the possibility, even when life is giving you every reason not to.” I chose this sentence, because no matter what generation you’re in, you can definitely count on life getting hard. Everyone will eventually come across a problem in their lives, whether they’re nine or thirty-nine. That problem can be as minor as homework or as colossal as death; it’s still a problem, no matter the size. However, they shouldn’t let these troubles overrule their lives. I know from experience that it is not easy to stay strong when life just keeps knocking you down every time you get back on your feet, but it will only make you stronger in the end. In one of my memoirs, I wrote, “If you don’t lose yourself in the face of a tragedy, then that truly will be an accomplishment.” I find this to be true. It is extremely hard to keep going on through life when you feel like your feet have been shot out from under you. However, every single person has the potential to get right back up when life knocks them down; there is a not a person who doesn’t. Today, many people, me included, lose hope so easily. And the sad part is, today’s generation finds this tolerable. However, it is never, under any circumstances, acceptable to lose faith in yourself. I would pass this sentence along to the next generation in hopes that they would remember to always have faith in themselves, and others as well. I hope that they would remember to always believe in the possibility that things will turn around, because God will take care of everything. He will never give anyone a problem that they can’t handle.
