LIFE, a word consisting of four letters, is probably one of the most complicated things to understand. For some it is beautiful, for other it is not a besd of roses at all. However, what I think is, it may be bitter at times, but with your strength and consistency, you can add colors in it. 
Let's talk about a woman whose hope of life lies in her four daughters
and a son. A woman who was the only daughter of a brigadier and became a doctor in those days when being a lady-doctor was a big deal. She got married to a surgeon, who had studied from the Royal College of England. People envied her, they thought her life was perfect, what else would she need?
When she entered her new home, she was told not to argue with her mother-in-law and she has to take care of her sister and brother-in-laws, as they were younger. A bit of disappointment hovered inside her but she overcame it and decided to start a new life. However, Life had planned something else for her. She had to encounter criticisms and taunts for things she had never done. She gave birth to a girl, which was her biggest mistake as for the whole week there was a mourning environment in the house. She was treated as guilty. After a year, she gave birth to a boy but it wasn't enough to create any ease in her messy life. Due to the insecurities of her in-laws family, that she would take their son away from her, her mother-in-law did everything in her power to make her life a living hell, complaining about her in front of her son and relatives.
Many years passed, she gave birth to four daughters, her husband began trusting her, her mother-in-law died but sisters-in-law carried on their mother's mission of making her life a misery. She kept determined, faced everything bravely and hoped for good times.
Of course, time never remains same. Her children grew into refined persons, but then her husband died and she herself got cancer. Her family members backed out, leaving her helpless as always. She had many responsibilities. Education of her children was incomplete, duaghters' marriage, her own health, financial issues and many other issues were ther to make her living tougher than ever. Her practice was not good either, relatives did many frauds with her but she remained silent and forgave.

Time passed, Life took many turnovers, and now by God's grace, she is recovering. Her son is a doctor, daughters are married and happy in their homes, the same relatives now praise her. Her times of difficulty is not completly over but she is contented. She is living. 
Although life is unpredictable and does not work according to our plans but it is still a gift of GOD. If you stay consistent, stand up to the difficult times, live according to the path chosen by ALLAH almighty, He holds your hand and takes you out of the that darkness. Yes, life is never a piece of cake but you can add sweetness in it with your attitude, firmness and beleif in Allah.
