Burdens become light when cheerfully borne

What is deservedly suffered must be borne with calmness, but when the pain is unmerited, the grief is resistless.

The heart breaks, but carries on. It can shoulder the most impossible burdens.

I had a burden lift off me that I hadn't even felt the heaviness of until then, and it was the burden of having to wait and see what was going to happen.

What if I was born into a normal life, one without a tortured childhood and without the weight of so many responsibilities and burdens?

Duty is heavy as a mountain, death is light as a feather.
