Life as a Summer Residence
AnalogyObject Lesson★★★★Life is like a summer’s residence at a bathing place. When you arrive you first become acquainted with those who have already been there some weeks, and who leave you in a few days. This separation is painful. Then you turn your attention to those who arrived with you. With them you live a good while, and become really intimate. But soon the most of these go, also, and you are left lonely with those who came just about as you were going away. You have but little to do with them. Some stay long, some but a short time in this world.
The point
Life is like a summer residence at a resort where all residents eventually depart, creating brief but meaningful connections before separation.
