Is life really complicated?
Life for me is a very much complicated thing. Is it
really complicated or am I just making it complicated? Why are some people
happy and satisfied with their life? Why am I not? These questions keep on
bothering my thoughts. I don't even know how to deal with it.
My life starts to complicate when I reach college. I’ve
seen the greater reality of the so-called life which I think is far beyond from
what I’m expecting. I realized a lot of things at that point of time such that
I’m not capable of handling things with regard to the realities of life. I
found that I do not deserve to be on top way back then for I haven’t build a
strong foundation on what is real. I’m just good in my academics but the
reality is that I’m not good in life. I’m not even initiative in dealing with
random situations. I feel so little with what I’ve discovered. I lose the
confidence and self-esteem which I used to wear before. Dreams that were easy
to reach according to my childish thoughts fade in just a glimpse. I saw all
those dreams left on my list as hard-to-achieve. I even forget to trust my own
potentials. It feels like I’m in a different world where everything is strange
that even my own identity- I’m not really sure of. I can’t even stand to my own
decision. I made such decision for now, later I’ll change. I can’t even
understand how my own thoughts and emotions run. Are these things really proves
that life is complicated or am I just escaping the possibilities that I myself
is the reason for all these complications? Or maybe these situations are not
really complicated. It’s just me who think of such for I didn’t know how to handle.
According to Confucius, “Life is really simple, but we
insist on making it complicated.The firm, the enduring, the simple, and the modest are near
to virtue.” With this, I guess I’m the one who makes things
complicated here. Maybe I don’t have the virtue which I think is the energy of
life. I fail to possess the firmness, endurance, simplicity and modesty of the
mind and heart which according to Confucius are near to virtue. Well, I learned
that to live life according to virtue will make everything simple and that’s
what I’m trying to seek in this life. I have weak foundation of virtues. I’m not
firm enough as of this age. I easily get discourage every time I fail. I do
have hope but not that strong- the same thing with faith and love. I can’t say
that I’m faithful enough ‘coz I’m even struggling for my prayer time. On the
other hand, how can I transcend love when I can’t even love my own self? I live
my life in insecurities and I hate it much. But above all, I’m trying and
struggling to change all these negativities. I guess by now, a lot of things
are being wasted but I believe it’s not yet too late to change for the better. HOPEFULLY with God’s grace.
Realization:
Life is not really complicated. It’s simple
but not easy to live with. It takes patience, determination and hard work to
deal with it. Also you have to wear those important virtues which are
significant in life. Challenges are always there for us to learn and to endure.
We might fail but it’s not yet the end. Learn to appreciate simple things for
in there, you’ll embrace complications with ease. Above all, there’s God whom
you can call.
Everything stated above are just product of
my thoughts and experiences. You’re not called to believe in it. I just made
this because I dream to do such. But you’re free to comment. God bless!
