Analysis of Gary and the Lighthouse (part 4/9)
(Continued from 3/9)
While walking across those paths
for many years,
his grandmother used to tell him
a lot of other stories about life,
nature and humanity.
Once he asked his granny
about the meaning of life-
she said, “If you really
wish to learn the true meaning
of life, then accept the
challenges that could come to you”.
She further side, “Challenges
are the best way
that make us grow”.
Gary took those words
as milestones and
took them very seriously,
and thoughtfully-
like the lighthouse,
those words were
also worked as
the guide in his life.
