On life These past days I have been playing the invincible man: I'd go to public places , sit down and watch people come and go. I'd go to malls , watch lovers hold hands and steal kisses on the go. I watch the ants too. I see them lugging tiny pieces of cakes to their holes. Two on the right side , two on the left - one in the front ; with the load so big and them being so small, you would think they won't make it to their hole. But...in a blink, they soon devour it and come out for more. It is an infinity loop. **I recently observed that life for man similarly only bring Suffering.** The world is full of people chasing happiness. Everyday - everywhere, throngs of people are out with their hands in one activity or the other. They hope these will bring them happiness and contentment . But this is an illusion. Like the ants, I reasoned that humans are trapped in this infinity loop too. From birth, little humans are taught to go to school, get good jobs and live a better life. As young adults, they are encouraged to get more certifications, build a family and save for retirement. As retirees, they are never contented. While some continue to work to make ends meet, others chase thrill from Nairobi to Almaty. There is always a chase...and there's never a stop. **The human never truly lives.** Humans suffer for everything too : They suffer for their poverty ; they suffer for their wealth. They suffer for their love ; they suffer for their hatred. They suffer to get bread, they suffer to stay hungry. They suffer for their actions , they suffer for their inactions. Life is a round trip to endless chase.
