In this game…
A 13, 14, 15 year-old girl who knew things some people never know…
“Riches, prestige, everything can be lost. But the happiness in your heart can only be dimmed; it will always be there as long as you live, to make you happy again.”
“Whoever is happy will make others happy.”
“In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit.”
“Where there’s hope, there’s life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.”
“Those who have courage and faith shall never perish in misery.”
“I don’t think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.”
“Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.”
“As long as this exists, this sunshine and this cloudless sky, and as long as I can enjoy it, how can I be sad?”
“No one has ever become poor by giving.”
“And you can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness!”
“Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness.”
“I don’t want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I’ve never met. I want to go on living even after my death!”
Dreams do come true.
