"Pip, dear old chap, life is made of ever so many partings welded together, and as I may say, one man's a blacksmith, one's a whitesmith, and one's a goldsmith, and one's a coppersmith. Diwisioins among such must come, and must be met as they come.'" (Pg. 222) In this quote Joe was explaining to Pip that life was going to be hard. Pip would have to work for what he wants and he must face the hardships in life that stand in his way. The struggle would be great. This is what Joe was trying to tell Pip as he would probably never see him again. Though we are happy and content our lives are filled with hardships and struggling to reach our goal.

In society there are classes of people determined by income. At the top there are rich, famous people who are all about money. At the opposite stream there are poor people struggling through life. But most people are simply earning money while we face the hardships in life as though we are walking in the road and there is a brick wall in front of us. We have to climb over the wall to keep going in life. The wall, our constant obstacle, is a Diwision between us. That's wat happened to Pip and Joe. That is a hardship that stopped us but somehow we got through it. It is as though the world is not a fair place for us.
