Struggle !

An elderly friend once said,"I cannot laugh like before anymore. Whatever happens,however funny,when everybody around I see laughing I realise I cannot laugh like before anymore." Some reality !! Arranging for one's daily three meal and a roof above is a struggle , fulfilling some materialistic demand is also a struggle , struggle is to get a job , a promotion , a good break , another car in the family , another house , a vacation in the foreign land , to be known , to be famous , to be aprreciated , to have enough bank balance....we are all struggling. But does struggle only ends here ?? What about that friend of mine who has a perfectly stable life but who cannot laugh anymore as once he used to ?? what about that person who has all these but has a loved one home with an incurable disease or a person who lives in a palace all alone ?? what about when you have to let go the person you really love for whatever reason or to deal with the loss of someone really close to you ? Struggle is actually to be content and to be happy in the state we are in. Struggle is to accept ourselves as we are. Struggle is to be able to laugh as we used to when we were younger. Struggle is to be able to do what makes us happy. Struggle is to find our root and to stay attached to it. Struggle is also to be able to cry when we are sad . Struggle is to find a person who wants to listen to you , struggle is to be able to control the restlessness inside. Struggle is to give wings to our dreams , struggle is to be able to stand up after falling down . Don't go by the appearance or the number of cars or only one's lifestyle...try to see through the eyes...you'll find the struggle deep inside !
