In a small, rustic cottage, a faded painting hung on the wall, depicting a serene countryside scene. It portrayed a pair of strong oxen, their muscles straining as they tirelessly pulled a worn-out wagon loaded with golden hay. The artist’s brushstrokes effortlessly captured the essence of hard work and resilience, serving as a constant reminder to the residents that when life’s load becomes heavy, they too can find strength in the simplicity of persistence and the beauty of determination.
