A Troubled Mind

Life is a lot of shortcomings, from family, friends to finances with
raised hopes and expectation crashing and crumbling. Dreams never
coming true always remain fantasies. Moments most enjoyed are in
period of solitude when we think of things that should have been but
never were. We living the pipe dream hoping for a light at the end of
the tunnel even when its pitch black. Lying on death beds filled with
regrets of what could have been done but never manifested. Aiming so
high but getting so little like the African adage "working like an
elephant but feeding like a shrew". I once heard someone say "you are
not alive unless you are living" but how do we live when life has
taught us only how to exist. "Cease the day" "make your lives
extraordinary" are common sayings we hear every day but actually do
not mean anything because it actually does never happen. The harder
you try, the harder it gets, with each victory comes a greater,
bigger, tougher problem to tackle. The circle never ends.Life teaches
the harsh reality, only those born with a silver spoon tend to live,
others just exist to create a balance in nature. Good and kind masses
suffer in penury without a voice of their own hoping someday for a
messiah which most likely would never come. People working diligently
to get hard earned pay hoping for change, hoping and dreaming someday
it will be better, day after day. Life issues boldly written on their
faces with wrinkles developing faster than one knows. In Africa people
grow older than their ages while in Eastern Europe, hardly would you
see someone smile because everybody is too busy dealing with
individual problems. In the west antidepressant drugs is in high
sales, easily explainable.In my opinion life is not fair, they say the
beautiful ones are not yet born-they are never born. We keep fighting,
waiting for a change, for a revolution that most likely won't -come
till the day we go to the graves. Those we think care, those we think
love us, those we think worry about us actually don't, it's just an
illusion. How then do we LIVE rather than exist, how then do we
SURVIVE the hardships and sufferings, how then do we make life
BETTER.
