All of our lives
Begin from the point
Where we are each given
Unique conditions.

Even if the conditions lack perfection
Or they are harsh,
We must take them on
And start going forward.

However, it is life
That opens up,
Transcending our thoughts.

Human beings
Can enter a new dimension
Because they have
Shortcomings and harshness.
