Dear Chicken @iamthegray (oops GrayPhoenix),
What a wonderful contest dear Sir. Thank you for putting this lovely prompt on Steemit!
Here is my official entry:

Understanding our promise to a higher being is a powerful reality. Even if human life has never been kind, there is no other choice but to move forward, and stay motivated. Discerning that there is more joy than pain in this world, and that this life is a short one is encouragement to not give up. Creator is Love, and that is the ultimate lesson. To love and be loved.
Respectfully submitted, @eaglespirit.
