LIFE OWES YOU NOTHING !

 Lately, a lot has been going through my mind. Don't really know how to express it in words, I hope it makes sense. We tend to go through this life angry and frustrated thinking that life owes us and that we deserve better. The truth is life owes us nothing, people included! We stress over futile things that are today but not there tomorrow, mourn and weep for things that don't give us everlasting satisfaction... How many times do we say we are going to die but still live, how many times do we say we give up but without realizing it still hold on?

I was just thinking... If life was really predictable and everything happened according to the way we want it to, would there be any satisfaction, would there be any point of living?  Imagine someone lending you a scary movie but before they give it to you they've already told you everything that happens, you even know the characters in the movie. Truth is, whenever you're getting to the scary part your mind will program itself in such a way that you won't get too scared... you might even close your eyes. One would then wonder, what's the thrill in that??? You might as well not watch the movie! Sad enough that's exactly what we do, we want to direct our lives, know what's coming next and either prepare for it or in most cases, prevent it from happening.

We live in ignorance not bearing in mind that every moment unleashes a different emotion in us, it adds to building our characters, shaping us to be individuals. SO if things happen the way we want them to, we die unsatisfied souls, self made weaklings because those good and bad times are what makes us complete. We worry too much, think too much but the end result is depression because no amount of thinking can change any situation. We are run down by other people's problems and carry their burdens on our shoulders yet we expect to be happy. We seem to be so affected by the things happening at the moment that everything else in the future becomes blurred.

Losing hope over a lost job like every other company is shutting down, giving up on love because of the end of a relationship, throwing in the towel because of material things lost as if it's impossible to attain them again. It's just a phase and we need to see it that way. As long as there is still life, there is still  potential, in the short run it might seem like it's going from bad to worse but what you do during that time determines the outcome of the future. I believe we should stop being too hard on ourselves and start taking things one step at a time. By taking control of our lives, we become happier individuals and people will enjoy being around us more because nothing is as annoying as being around someone who feels like life owes them and is treating them unfairly!
