Paradox

I may walk a long time with happiness but I learn little. But I walked a day with sorrow, I learnt much.

I seek for joy but found none till I know who is the joy-giver.
I wanted to seek things that won't last but my heart turned me round and told me to not to seek things that will burn up. For I am only, alone is eternal. He told me He is eternal.

I sought to drink at the fountain that purge my thirst. But if I never want to thirst, I must drink at the fount that washes away all my sin and makes crimson stains white as snow.

And so again, I walk a day with sorrow, and I have learnt much yet again.
