LIFE IS A SPOON 🤧

                        
                          LIFE IS A SPOON
          Anytime I sit quietly and ponder about life lately, I realize that life is just like a spoon.
          A spoon tastes both sweet soup and bitter medicine, yet it remains the same, and yeah, life is like that. A spoon, at the same time, is never filled on its own. Someone must place something in it. Actually, some days, life serves us happiness, love, disappointment, heartbreak, failure, and loss. There will be moments of joy and moments of pain, but what matters is not what touches you, but what you become through it.
         If we look at it closely, the spoon does not complain about what it carries; it simply holds it for a moment and lets it pass.
        Funny enough, many of us spend our lives wishing only sweet things would come our way. But if a spoon could speak, perhaps it would have told us that sweetness and bitterness are both part of the meal; neither lasts forever.
        To me, life is a spoon because it teaches me to receive each moment as it comes, to appreciate the sweeter ones, and to learn from the bitter ones. What matters is not about what life places in our spoon today but how we respond to it. We should learn to enjoy success and to endure hardship without losing hope.
         And maybe that’s the beauty of life; knowing that tomorrow, the spoon may carry something entirely different.

COUNTRY IN FOCUS: NORTH KOREA

North Korea, officially the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), is a country in East Asia that occupies the northern half of the Korean Peninsula. It shares borders with China, a small stretch with Russia, and South Korea, while also lying between the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan (East Sea).
