Life is mostly froth and bubble,
Two things stand like stone,
Kindness in another's trouble,
Courage in your own.
~Adam Lindsay Gordon
This is one of my many favorite quotes;
I think this quote means that life isn't always perfect , sometimes you are (frothy) meaning everything in your life seems like a blur . Not knowing what direction to go , not knowing how to feel , Or what to say. The bubbles in life are the breaths you take , each day learning something new and just knowing you are walking this earth . "Two things stand like a stone" I think that is directed to people male and female . Meaning some people are so sheltered that they dont need to move from where they were. Everyone is like robots programed to wake up , go to work than go to sleep and repeat. We sometimes forget how to let loose and just let ourselves enjoy life , we need to take a step forward and start moving :). "Kindness in another's trouble, courage in your own way". I think this means when a person is in trouble ( having a problem) you are there to be understanding and listening to what they are having to say , but at the same time looking at your own life and being able to say hmm my problems arent that bad . And having the courage to fight your own after hearing a more intense story thru someone else.
