No Pain.....No Gain!!!

Struggle and life are synonymous to each other. Human life is full of events, events that either result in happiness or despair, it’s full of up and downs. It’s human to buckle under the pressure of life, to admit defeat in front in adversities. But one always offers a fight before admitting his defeat. Struggle makes a person stronger and tough. Suffering proves to be a blessing for a man who can face it bravely as it unbottels a huge pool of talent and strength. We never know how strong we are until being strong is the only choice left.

And, its sometime great luxury to know that you are fighting one to one with nature, destiny and system, that you are all by yourself and the onus of saving your ass lies to yourself. Sometimes it’s wonderful to know that you are swimming against the flow or standing alone for a cause. Suffering is also caused when your thoughts and action are not in accordance with the system. You are either above or below the normal level, larger the difference more is the struggle. It’s like you either collide with slow moving-ongoing traffic or are hit by a over speeding truck. In both cases it’s you who ends up with bruised knees and ankles!!

When we witness someone undergoing a tragedy, our fears grow and worries grow even bigger than the suffers’ because he’s either busy in fighting or in damage control. He’s too busy to think, he cannot because for him each moment is momentous, his each cerebral movement is directed towards his own rescue and he cannot risk losing battle pitying on his situation or brooding over the circumstances. But we on the other hand think of the complexities of the situation and its repercussions, extrapolate the events and imagine ourselves in that situation. In doing so we often forget the adjustable human nature, its ability to derive happiness in any condition and its irrevocable and clandestine belief in ‘the survival of the fittest’. It is the hostility of nature that initiates evolution. Every change comes with a pain. Time and pain are the greatest teachers.

For all the technological advances and spiritual glory we cannot control our fate, what we can control is the way we respond and act when adversities are bestowed upon us.
