The Essence of Life
What’s the crucial element of life? A million dollars question if you ask me. Most of the people would say that the important element of life is to find Happiness or some of you might come up with the idea of having Money. Well, there is no right or wrong answer, it’s all depends upon the life choices that we make in our lives.
The real essence of life is much more deeper than finding Happiness or making Money. Let’s take the first case of Finding Happiness. Now you need to ask yourself, would you be happy if you had lost $300 money to a online scammer? Probably not…. or would you be happy if you found out that your cell phone is not working and you have an important phone call to make to your client? If you ask me I would be pissed off and would’ve simply yelled and screamed at someone or if
not probably at myself so, Happiness is temporary. It comes and goes.
Now let’s take the 2nd case of making money/having Money. We all know that the money is the medium of economic exchange that’s how we make living. Let’s take the example of you have a family to feed, how would you feel if you just have $20 to your name. Would you be able to feed your family with that? Sounds like an impossible task to do or let’s suppose that you got millions of dollars in your bank account, I am sure you will be able to feed your family, You can buy nice house for them, go for a vacation and have a great time but why then, people with so much of financial resources end up with so much of resentment, depression why?
One argument you can make that maybe, they are selfish that’s why people leaving them or you can say that they don’t have the solid reason to live that’s completely fine so, where we can find the concrete reason to live a better life? I am sure it’s definitely not found in Happiness nor in having less money or more money then where the hell you can find the essence of life?
It’s hidden deep inside the struggles of life. It is found in taking heavy burden of noble and humble responsibilities and fulfilling them by keeping your head down and fight, fight and fight to justify your existence on this planet. Essence of life is found in staying away from
malevolence & resentment. Taking good care of yourself. Have some plan. Not a perfect one but, a stupid plan that can give you a start at least . Accepting the truth that life is hard and it’s vicious cycle of pain and suffering but, it’s worth living. Hopefully, you start using the word ‘Happiness’ with caution but, if happiness knocks at your front door open the door, have smile and be grateful for it and same thing with the money.
