    Ans: Life is a journey and it is not always easy. Sometimes it is pleasant while other times things tend to go wrong. Regardless

    one finds themselves in debt they must persist. Stop for a while and take a rest but do not give up. When a person gives up, life
    becomes meaningless, there is nothing worthwhile to fight for and all will to live diminish. Although the problem seems

    purpose of the poem.
