A lot of people have said so many awful things about life. They have called life by different names. Some people say life is hard and cruel, others say life is bitter and harsh. The fact is that none of these is untrue. It is true that life can be hard, brutal, bitter, and harsh. How do you expect a boy who grew up with only his mother to wake up one day and hear that his mother is long gone from this world? How do you expect that person not to say that life is hard? How do you expect a father with other responsibilities in his hands, with no partner to support him, only to get to work one day and find a sack letter on his desk. Now, he has to go searching for a new job in a harsh country with a bitter economy. How do you expect that person not to say that life is bitter?
I haven’t been feeling well these past few days. In fact, in my last posts, I have been sharing updates about my health. I have been taking a lot of time off my screen, lying on my bed, and slowly wishing that I sleep off. All the time that I have been spending on my bed, I keep thinking about life. I remember a story @justfavour told me a few days ago. According to him, his friend witnessed a sad scene at a hospital. A parent hurriedly drove their car into the hospital and parked in front of the emergency room. They kept yelling for the doctor to come outside, and when they brought the patient out, it was their child who was on oxygen.
The child should be around 2 years old, yet, he is going through so much. He is not only going through so much pain, but he is also causing his parents pain. My question is that did that young child do anything to deserve so much pain? What bad thing did the parents do in this life or their previous ones to deserve such pain? The fact is that if we keep asking ourselves these questions from today till tomorrow, we will get no answer. Life is really difficult for many people. Even the rich people you see today who seem like they have everything figured out, also go through a lot.
Despite the fact that I have been sick and very weak these past days, I am grateful. I don’t think I have ever felt this weak before, but I am still grateful. I am grateful to God for his goodness and blessings over me, my family, my friends, and everyone. There are many people out there who go through so much that when we compare my current situation to theirs, it doesn’t even come close at all. If I were to start complaining about my health. If I should start saying “what have I done to deserve this?” Then, what should they say?
Yes, life is cruel, hard, and harsh, but I’m still grateful for how far my creator has taken me. I am grateful for so many things. I am grateful for the things I have achieved on Hive, for the beautiful people I have met, and for the things I will continue to achieve.
Thanks for reading through.
