10 MYTHS ABOUT LIFE
(MR. HKO, Grammarian, Counsellor)
Humans face great disappointments and despair in life due to how they have obliviously perceived life to be, worse, how they have been told about it (consciously or unconsciously programmed to see it)
- It is a mistake to think life is a pleasure; it brings misery. Pleasure and misery, both are the side of the same coin. As you cannot find a coin with a single side, so you cannot fine a life full of pleasure (happiness) without pain.
- It is a mistake to think that the goal of life is to be successful (rich) and amass properties for oneself and family. The ultimate goal of life (man) is KNOWLEDGE. Knowledge will help him never to miss what pain and pleasure have to teach him.
- It is a mistake to think that the one who is ambitious and determined to pursue wealth and involves themselves in a continuous struggle (hustle) to achieve power or anything he desires understands the aim of life. Contrarily, these kind of people are dangerous of which society must be aware and cautious of.
- It is a mistake to think that people will appreciate or recollect what we do for them. The more we strive hard to help people, the more we are prone to disappointment. Always anticipate that. Know that whatever you do for others is free. If they acknowledge, then it was out of free will (choice). They are never obliged to pay back.
- It is a mistake to think that the more we oppress or hate a person, the more they fail or lose in life. The truth is, as more and more you keep hate or grudge against someone, the more he gets elevated in life.
- It is a mistake to think that the level of love we give is the same we deserve to get. All love is unrequited. The more we understand that the less we demand anything of people. We just let them be, and only thrive on what we rather feel for them, to sustain the relationship.
- It is a mistake to think that your children must grow up to cater for you. The truth is, you must rather cater for them from the time you decided to bring them forth to planet earth till they leave. Great disappointment awaits you if you don’t swallow this bitter pill. You are a parent (owner and caretaker) and forever you will be.
- It is a mistake to think that the more we care and love people (our wives, husbands, children,etc.) , the more the they will in turn, love, understand and submit to us. It is worthy to note that, the more we do that, the more they feel they are in prison.
- It is a mistake to think that when people (wives, dates, husbands, children, etc.) leave us, that becomes the end of our lives, so we strive to keep them, and fight for them. We should understand that, anytime something is released from us, it creates room for more (better) of such things to happen to us.
- It is a mistake to think that complaining solves issues. Silence is a virtue which is more difficult and painful to cultivate than anything else in the world, especially when you feel a great need or desire to talk (complain). It is very difficult to exercise it, but very rewarding. It does not just solve present situations, but “speaks” for future events as well. Silence is Loud.
Life is simple, but not easy. Know the difference and always face what it presents with great absolute readiness.
