Humans who like the autumn season enjoy watching leaves fall and maybe that’s why they learn to accept when other people leave their lives too.
People who love the autumn season often find beauty in things that fade. They watch leaves fall not with sadness, but with an understanding that letting go is a natural part of life. In the same way, such people may cope better when friends drift away, seeing departures not as betrayals but as gentle reminders that every chapter has its time. Autumn teaches them that loss can be graceful and that change, though sometimes painful, carries its own kind of quiet beauty. Maybe that’s why they become strong at letting go whether it’s old memories, fading relationships, or the parts of life that no longer belong. Autumn doesn’t teach them loss; it teaches them acceptance, strength, and the grace of moving forward.
Happiness is like a guest. It comes into our lives for a little while, makes us smile, and then quietly leaves. We cannot keep it forever, just like we cannot hold on to a guest who must go. Rabindranath Tagore’s short story Athithi (which means "The Guest") shows us this idea in a beautiful way. In the story, a young boy named Tarapada comes to a kind family. They treat him with love, and for a while, everyone is happy. But one day, without telling anyone, Tarapada leaves. He loved being with them, but he could not stay in one place. He wanted to be free. Tarapada is like happiness. He came, brought joy, and left. The story helps us understand that we should enjoy happy moments while they are with us. But when they pass, we should not be sad. Just like a good guest, happiness will come again one day. This teaches us to be thankful for the joy we have, even if it doesn’t last forever.
