Life Problems!

Hey! Welcome Warriors.

Life is a constant battle and it takes constant efforts to make it worth. Everyday we are thrown new problems and to be will-fully strong we ought to learn to face the problems.

No matter what age we are, what social standing we have or how much money we make, everyone has problems, it's just that the gravity of the situation might differ. For kids, it's a problem to go to school, for a teen, it's a problem if their friends don't like them, for adults, it's a problem if they don't find a job they love. And many more problems we can think of.

So what would happen if we didn't have any problems?
Let me tell you a story,

So far away in the ancient Nepal, was a king, who despised all the negetivity. He made an ironclad decision that his child will not have to know about this, as he will provide all the comforts, fulfill it's all demands and never let it see the dark shade of sadness. Just like he promised, he fulfilled all the demands of his child and never let him see the struggles. And yes, the child became exactly what you are thinking, he became entitled, bored and nothing pleased him.

One night, he made a decision to go beyond his castle and see the lives of his subjects. He snuck out and found completely opposite of what he expected. He saw people suffering, struggling. living in poverty, sleeping on roads and many other horrific sights that he never expected. This made him question reality and he fell into an existential crisis. So,just like his father he made an ironclad decision, of living among his subjects, sleeping on the streets, wearing rags and living like a vagabond to find the profound meaning of life, I mean, like father like son. Months passed, he was living in the streets and he still was unsure of the meaning of life.

Agitated, he went to a lake where he sat under a tree, and legend has it, he sat there for 40 days contemplating the meaning of life. After all this he came to a conclusion that everything in this life is arbitrary, as it's bound to change. This might not sound so grandiose but I guess Gautam Buddha ( Yes! ) was very much on point here.

As everything is bound to change, it's certain that where we are right now is not permanent. The pain we are feeling will eventually go away. So all I am asking is to keep your head high, face your problems like a champ and learn from it. Because life is a bi*** and it'll never stop being one, but in the end what makes a difference, is our attitude.

Peace.
