Few days ago I heard a news about a guy found dead on his apartment. There
was also a fuss going on that he actually committed suicide because he failed
on his study.
Somehow I feel that his situation resembles the dark times of our lives. We
have our ups and downs. When we are in our downs, we may feel that we’re in the
hardest position, no one has ever been in this lowest point, no one could ever
understand us, they just couldn’t do anything to help (we are in a grumpy mood, aren't we?). But then
hearing the story of this guy made me realize how weak we are and how arrogant & selfish
we are. We don't accept "failure", we can't accept it. Instead of
facing it, we would have wanted to just runaway from the reality, so did
I. We should know that we shouldn’t. Don't even think to end our journey in this world so soon just because of a failure, it won't solve the problem plus only adding more problems (do you not think of your beloved ones who are left behind?). Our life is too precious to be defeated only by a small problem (and another point to add : you don't know where you are going once you're not with us anymore, do you?).
How to act upon any obstacles in our lives is all about our choices. We may
choose to face it with our chins up or we may choose to runaway from it. It is
okay to take a detour, 'cause in the end of the day we’ll find that we’re back
on the right tract realising that we have failed this time but we won't let our
weakness take control of us. That’s the right attitude! It's pretty impossible to always be on top all the way, we must have had our hard times. We should keep trying no matter what full stop. A failure was a history, so while we are living in the present, let's do something to change the future!
I personally should apply this for myself, as I was really hit by the schocking news. A
failure is not the end of the world. I said it to myself as well. No matter how
big the problem I have, shall I tell my problem that I have a bigger God.
Have a blessed day! :)
