“Consider a person truly fortunate when he can ride the highs and lows of life, good times and bad times, and still maintain love for life.”

by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from Vicissitudes of Life, chapter 1

In other words

Life keeps changing its conditions. Gain and loss, comfort and trouble, can follow each other like the swing of a pendulum. Neither side remains a permanent home. A trained mind learns from both. Misfortune can teach how the world works and reveal strength. Success can be enjoyed without losing touch with the habits and realities that keep it alive.

The deeper fortune is not a life made only of highs. It is the ability to move through both heights and depths without losing love for life itself. Circumstances still matter and pain still hurts, but neither is allowed to become the final measure of whether living is worth loving.
