true or false

Words that frequently ring in my ear, “study, work hard, have a job and you will be happy”. These words are usually uttered by those who are aged, not old, but aged. The reason I listen to them, with age comes wisdom, so I thought. But how many of us know people who work, possess a family, earn money, may not be rich and are actually satisfied with what they have without a single iota of wanting more. As far as I know, people think of quitting their job as frequent as me thinking where am I headed next. Surprised? Well, I shall greet you with a warm welcome to the real world. When the words above retire from a persons mouth, what the brain considers is that its what’s best for the other persons ears but what the true heart’s desire is actually time and money. Have the words above just blind folded the youth by placing a fogged fantasy upon ones mind. If so, has going to school and studying fulfilled its purpose as all we want is time and money, not a job. We all know that school is no where near our second home, if it was, my home would just be hell. However, if I didn’t go to school, I shall not be the person I am today. To encounter teachers is not a burden but to disregard their words is an achievement. With this I thank those who have made my life at school a true journey. Why? Ask yourself , are you actually virtuous from verbal castigation, either from teachers, family or even friends. I know for sure verbal abuse has been my daily routine. Again, surprised? Its either about your results, how come others can do what you can’t and getting punished for some obtuse reason. What we really have to realize is that we are all individuals. Which means everybody obtains a right to posses a character of their own. I didn’t go to school to become what others already are. I went to school to find the person within me, to seek the gift and not the flaw. When we find ourselves strayed we tend to seek guidance from others. So, we look for those who seem to have the acquaintance and the know-hows to provide you with such needs. However, how many of us took the advice given by others all because you think they so called ‘know what’s best’ for you. How many of these ‘advice’ that has been given, taken and ended up being wrong. Taking this point into action, I soon realize that humans were made in such a way that all we do is think of ourselves. People go through many different courses of action and resolution just to acquire gratification. How people say they lied or kept it a secret to “protect” you. If this is how a person defines ‘protection’, I shall wonder how they may define love. More lies and more secrets? If the world language was to be love, then I shall say we will all end up getting hurt by love itself. However, I believe that love may hurt but it may also cure. As we try to be human beings just by being humans , love is more likely to hurt than to cure. Although I may be backed up by my family and friends, I shall always stand alone in this battle I call life and to survive this life, I shall stand on nobody’s ground but my own. When I encounter a person smiling, I shall always remember that ‘there’s daggers in men’s smile’ and if I ever contend with a person sniveling, I shall always remember that everybody has the ability to turn a frown upside down. Life is life but you can always turn it out to be what you want it to be, it lies no where beyond your palm. Its always about you…
