These two videos feature a character’s struggle and also their determination to endure and overcome suffering in order to achieve a broader purpuse. Suffering is sometimes required by life’s circumstances, but having the courage to pass through a dark tunnel can bring rewards. Beyond the simple satisfaction of “bearing” a period of pain and surviving, manoeuvring past a tough patch in life may allow the achievement of something greater in the long run. These videos have been excerpted from The Legend of Ponnivala’s animated Episodes #5 and #12 respectively.
