When Life Gets Harder

 

NOT to be a pessimist BUT life has been laid out for us in such a way that it's NEVER a WALK IN THE PARK, that is a guarantee.  By itself, LIFE IS HARD.  In fact, NOTHING about life is easy.  As a student, it's NEVER easy to get good grades in school [ooooooops, just yesterday, I stumbled across a social media post of a student committing suicide after her father harangued and spewed her with the harshest possible words] all because she missed out garnering academic honors [IF only the parent was NOT that circumspect]📗📙📘

I heard of spine-tingling stories of someone going through a grueling surgery and did struggle to recuperate.  BUT my friend did confide that it was also a struggle to lay at home despite wanting to go out.  Early in my career life, I admit that there were times I found it difficult to plot out things, struggling even on a day to day basis, battling with decisions, thoughts and feelings that come to mind💡💡💡

And quite surprisingly, there were many days I struggled just trying to get out of bed.  And I recall those times WHEN it was equally difficult for me to heal from a disconnect OR an argument.  And YESSSSS, surprisingly, for the NOT so obvious reasons, I found it difficult even WHEN I was awash with $$$$$$.  And to make things more confusing, I did struggle to make new friends BUT more confusingly, it was more difficult to maintain them once you have them.  WHILE it's difficult to make a load of $$$$$$, it was another kind of ballgame to keep it💥💥💥

YES YES yowww, difficulty, struggles and hardship are all woven into life.  You and me CAN'T just easily escape OR even wiggle out of it.  WHAT's difficult and easy are two sides of the same coin, BTW.  You CAN'T have one and NOT the other.  One thing that makes things easier OR more convenient also makes other things more difficult.  Even in the most normal situation, it's one thing is made easier, another is made so difficult❎❎❎

Our takeaway:  The numerous paradoxes in life will always lead us to conclude that it is equally as difficult NOT to be happy and suffer in your pity as it is to do something about it.  And it's equally as difficult to remain in pain as it is to go through the healing process.  And it's equally as difficult to become rich as it is to remain poor.  And it's equally difficult to conquer one's fears as it is to let them conquer you.  YES, both difficulties and challenges AREN'T exclusive to the things that happen once OR infrequently.  In fact and in truth, everyday can be just as challenging as the one-offs😌😌😌
