What should pass??Story behind it sounds intresting but makes no sense without knowing what is meant by it
It's a saying, really, meaning endure, stick with it... but also to be wary of the good times. Everything going wrong, feel shit, nothing going for you? Don't worry, 'this too shall pass', things will pick up. Enjoying a boon, nothing at all that worries you? Remember, the good times don't last forever, 'this too shall pass', things that go up must come down.
It's something worth remembering, sometimes. It can open your eyes to a different perspective.
Ever since this proverb was mentioned in the tattoo thread it really hit home to me.
When I feel down or being a bit selfish and feeling sorry for myself regarding my stroke I find it very soothing and sobering, In fact I decided to have it tattooed on my chest in mirrored text so that when I do find myself staring into the abyss of a mirror its there for me to see.
Some may think i'm a bit of a dick for doing it but it really helps me.
