Is it really wonderful to have a perfect life which is plain-sailing; running smoothly without any big difficulty, struggle or challenges? I am sure that we all have have this kind of friends around us, who never have to worry about anythings in life as they were born with 'golden spoons' in their mouth. As an addition to their fortunate life, some of them were even gifted with stunning outward appearance, vital-statistic figures and also a blissful family.
The only few issues that bother them the most will be something like: 'What should I wear for tonight's dinner?' 'I have gained some weight, I need to lose down.' 'My boyfriend/girlfriend doesn't treat me right.' 'I don't have enough money for the brand new luxury laptop and fancy car.'
After fulfilling their tertiary education, this blessed group can work anywhere and do whatever they want since they do not have to worry about paying for themselves- the parents bought them cars and even provide them with places to stay and plenty of nice food to eat. They spend the money to buy all kinds of fancy stuff for themselves, going on trips on a regular basis, falling in love with their special ones, getting married and eventually settling down by starting own family.
It might sound boring in someways but I am pretty sure that some of us dreamt of that kind of flawless way of living before. Come on, admit it, once in a while, we all do. Then, normally, we utter a long sigh, complaining about how terrible our destiny is and how unfair life can be.
Well, I guess life is never fair then. I always yearn to be in the lucky group but too bad, I am always in a totally opposite position. As such, I always work harder than anyone else because there is one old-school saying,"working your own luck". So, speaking from experience, if you strive harder, most of the time miracles will happen, though the process will be really tough. If your will is strong enough, after tonnes of tears and sweat, what you have wished for might come true someday. However, there is no guarantee for that. The irony is that we just have to strive harder if you were not blessed.
I am not a religion fanatic but for some reasons, I strongly believe in Karma. No, not so much on the previous life concept but mainly on the total effect of a person's actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person's existence, regarded as determining the person's destiny.
What goes around, comes around. What you have done determines what you get later. That sounds fair, right?
Besides, the universal principle does not believe in perfection, too. Recently, I heard a story from a friend. This friend's friend( let's name him 'Guy A') killed himself few months ago by jumping off a building. ' Guy A' was having the utmost perfect life, which envied by every single creature in this world. He was a young and handsome pilot with piles of money in the bank. He got to travel from time to time, having big house, nice car and prominent parents. Plus, he had a gorgeous girlfriend whom he had been seeing for more than ten years.
Nobody could understand the reason for someone as awesome as him to killing himself. Though, rumours went around, saying that he was actually a homosexual and had been hiding inside the closet for his entire life. The pressure from the conservative society and religion were killing him pieces by pieces. So, one day 'Guy A' just decided to end all of his misery by leaving this cruel world.
Life is a tricky game. Be sure to play it right.
