The Struggle Is Real

The struggles through life itself, are enough to write so much about. I wonder why we have to live in this world and keep struggling to survive. Why can't we just have things come our way without being stressed? Some say that the fun part of it is the stress we undergo and the inequalities we experience in life.

If everything were to go the way we wanted, then do you think people will have to submit to each other? A world where everyone has equal power and wealth. I can’t imagine what it would look like. But for real, I am still amazed by the term “struggle” in life itself.

Some people will say, when you work hard, you will surely reap a fruitful harvest at the end of it all, and some say that working hard doesn’t truly matter, because smart work has always proved to be much more effective.

Working hard and working smart both have the term work in them. Guess it’s still all down to that same struggle, but the means of getting what we are working for just happen to be different. Some might have it the hard way, and some will just have it easier.

Only if it’s possible for us not to worry about what tomorrow would happen to look like, then we might probably live better. The worries, burden, and hopes we have for the days ahead of us are one thing that makes us get hooked on this world.

I was in a conversation with a friend of mine, and we discussed life at length. We had similar opinions about what life truly appears to look like. She said, “What’s meant for you won’t stress you.” I had to ponder a little about it and my past experiences in life. And the fact was that, for real, what will be will be. We are just most of the time curious and unsettled because we can't foresee what will happen to us in the next few minutes.

A man who is meant to live for a century on the earth's surface will surely see many other men like him leave the surface after decades, thinking his time is near, but he never knew he would live a century on earth.

Do you think that if he had known about it, his lifespan, he would feel concerned about seeing others leave?

I remembered a time I was urgently in need of some money to settle some bills. I never had my mind set anywhere because I was still a student then. I had no salary or anything that gave me money except for the support I got from home.

I already called and made requests from every possible angle I knew I could get support from, but none worked out. I just had to take my mind off it. I had totally lost hope. But I repeat, what is your will never pass you by, and what will happen will happen; there is no trick to that.

Just two days to the deadline, I have already lost hope. Then I got a call from my aunt. She came around the school premises for her daughter's entrance exam. It was a surprise visit, and she gave me the exact amount I needed when she was about to leave. I was so happy and overwhelmed with joy. Then I thought to myself, “only if I could see what would happen in the future, then I wouldn't have been so concerned and worried.
