Overthinking things gets one into more problems/tinybudha.com |
A disgruntled man who was seen cutting grasses under the scotching sun in order to get what his family of four would eat was overheard heard
asking himself this rhetorical question:
“Why is this life filled with a whole
lot of problem, why must I undergo this punishment just to put food on the
table for my family when others seem to relax in fully air-conditioned offices
and only to go home with fat checks at the end of every month?” A passerby
quickly picks it up from him and gave this this answer…… ‘It is hard and filled
with problems because of what it is. Guess what he concluded his answer with?
He said ‘because this is life’!
And that is exactly what it is because as the
man said, life is life. It is a fact that life is filled with so many hitch ups
but they are some who are making their ways through in it without much visible
scratches as it were. Accepting life just the way it is lessens unnecessary anxieties!
One major thing about this life is that it is not the
same for everyone due to so many reasons which are sometimes self-inflicted and
at other times just an outright unfortunate for others who doesn’t really
deserve the unfortunate situations.
As seen from the happenings around the
world, most people are suffering unnecessarily either because of their lost
opportunities in or their hardships may come from the wrong/wicked decisions of
others whether known to them or not.
Throughout man’s history, it has been a
case of inequality all over the world. The rich class, the average or middle
class and the poor fellows otherwise known as the second-class citizens.
The simple reality that most people often
overlook in life.
We all know it and have it as clearly stated facts that mere
wishes in does not take anyone anywhere because as it was said and spoken of
around the world, ‘If wishes were horses; the beggars might ride comfortably’.
But the simple truth has it that one can only grow if he goes.
Being great or
being able to adequately take care of one’s responsibilities does not come
easy. So, for one to be able to do that, some great sacrifices have to be made
and continuously made if one is to keep himself afloat in this daunting ocean
called life.

It is often a common sight to see some people who were once
comfortable in life becoming poor and are living dejected life due to their
changed circumstances and whenever you try to hear them out, what you would see
pouring out from them are nothing but some bitter expressions of what they
could have done but missed it due to one reason or the other and how this life
has been unfair to them because of some decisions they made at some stages in
their life……. etc.
All those regrets changes/amounts to nothing for anyone because even
the person one may be complaining to didn’t have it easy either as he must have
taken some drastic measures in life to be where he is today, in a nutshell, it
wasn’t easy for him as it may appear to the one laying all sorts of complains
to him.
Simply put, we either look for ways to improve our lots in life or die
complaining! Life is not easy and for us to survive in it we are not to take it
excessively easy as well. It is a pure
waste of time for one to stay bemoaning his lots in life when he can at least
make some efforts to put things right to some extent and move up from there.
Again, it is quite unfortunate that some are deliberately playing away their
precious time while believing that they are doing the best they can but that is
very wrong. At times, one may be busy analyzing the happenings in other peoples
while their own is in shambles, that doesn’t pay either. There are opportunities
everywhere and the earlier a person realizes this the better for him and all those
that depend on him.
Stop over thinking, over complaining and take steps to correct the correctable in life. Happy you!
