What makes the difference?
Life is the longest journey anyone could freely have but it has one flaw which is, that it can end anytime without us knowing. Nobody knows how long their life journey will be. Some people choose to enjoy their life to the fullest before their bodies become too weak to even stand up.
Some planned properly for a comfortable retirement and some forgot and end up working hard until their last breath. Some have the privilege of leading a peaceful road to retirement and some have to break all major obstacles to reach the same course.
There is a big gap between the rich and the poor but they have two similarities which are both have one chance to be successful and both have one probability to fail. Success or failure can only be determined on the day of our last breath. As long as we are still alive no matter how deep we fall into failure, we always have a chance to get a comeback or even become better than before.
Going through life is like gambling. We chose a path and we hope that things will all go well without having any confirmation that it will absolutely will. If it doesn't then we have to choose another path and go through the same process again. Perhaps in a different situation but still stuck in the phrase, 'on the way to success.'
Sometimes in the middle of the way, we might encounter losses or opportunities but it is up to us whether we want to give up or pursue success.
It is normal to be hurt and experience disappointment throughout life. There is no escape. The only thing that will make a difference is our choices on getting through the pain.
I so agree that there is no escape for all sufferings in life. How hard it is that life is not a bed of roses but I know we ould always overcome it for as long as we are not giving up for life.
