The painting called Famine by John Charles Dollman at the bottom of the news article represents to me the struggle over life and death and how the human spirit can overcome adversity in life,
we are all on a journey in life so try to turn those negative experiences into positive outcomes whenever you can, because who knows about the afterlife, if there is one or not, so live your life with Positivity
My Motto BEE POSITIVE
