In a harbor, two ships sailed, one setting forth on a voyage, the other coming home to port. Everyone cheered the ship going out, but the ship sailing in was hardly noticed. To this, a wise man said, “Do not rejoice over a ship setting out to sea, for you cannot know what terrible storms it may encounter, rejoice rather over the ship that has safely reached port and brings its passengers home in peace.
And this is the way of the world:
When a child is born, we all rejoice; when someone dies, we grieve in sadness.
Perhaps we all should do the opposite. For none of us can tell what trials and tribulations await the newborn child.
So, when a love one dies and finds peace, we eventually should rejoice.
