One of the Wisest :Poems ever

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes ...
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house empty
of its furniture, still,
treat each guest honorably.
He may be cleaning you out
For some new delight.
The dark thought, the
the malice, meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent as
a guide from the beyond.

- Rumi
