Good once with Patience
In those days, we
used to take photographs using film rolls. Once we finished taking the
photos—typically 36 per roll—we would hand over the roll, known as the
negative, to a photo studio for developing. When we submitted our roll, the
studio would place it in a cover labelled with our name and ask us to specify
"Good ones only." This meant that while taking pictures, some photos
might be shaky or unclear, and during the developing process, the studio staff
would only print the images that turned out well. Although we would lose some
pictures in the process, we would still retain the good ones.
Those were golden
days when we eagerly awaited the prints, which usually took 2-3 days to
develop. Although the wait felt long, it was always worth it.
Now, let's relate
photography to our lives. Not all experiences are positive, so we need to
discern which memories to hold onto, just like we keep the good photographs
from a film roll. Sometimes, patience is required to see the results of our
actions, rather than seeking instant gratification.
In the past, we
learned valuable lessons through our experiences, and those who paid close
attention to life have always discovered insights worth sharing.
