Our difficulties in life

         Living is not easy – we have always heard this saying when people talk about life. In fact, life is full of challenges, troubles, unfair situations and many other circumstances. People generally tend to design plans for their lives based on their desires. If these plans don’t come true, some individuals tend to make excuses for their difficulties and often claim that their problems were caused by others or simply by bad luck, not by themselves.
          However, I wonder: what kind of life have we experienced to say that living is not easy? In most cases, people want to buy goods and have a comfortable life, but some don’t have a good job or haven’t had the opportunities needed to pursue their ambitions. Regarding love, some people complain that they cannot find it because they have chosen “the wrong person” or because the one they love doesn’t feel the same. So it becomes difficult to meet their “great love”. It’s hard to find what our imagination creates!
         The life we dream of exists only in our imagination, whether it is the love we imagine or our hope to be somewhere in the future, celebrating our achievements. But we can try to compare the obstacles and difficulties in life and the other people’s aspirations. Someone will be there, and their life will be easier than others, while some will find it harder to reach their goals.
        How many people have dreamed of the most unlikely ambitions? Perhaps these ambitions are not what they really want to experience, but they choose them according to the best salary or because they offer a senior position with power. In a way, power is the summary of everything we wish for: if we have power, we can do what we want. In short, difficulties in life are possible to overcome if we have the power to be what we want to be, because living is not easy. Or you may be simply lucky.
         But we can only be what we are able to be, and there is nothing wrong with that. How many individuals, after putting in a lot of effort to graduate and begin a promising career? Some of them try to match their passion with good pay, but they will face reality, and reality is not easy either.
         Dreams are easier to build in our imagination, and they become difficult when we try to fly with them. It may be they are trying to give wings to a body that refuses them, a body that wants to live an easy, light life without surprises. When we are not prepared or not destined to be someone, our attempts can turn life into a huge problem.
        Perhaps some projects are difficult to carry out because they were created in the wrong way, or because we try to copy projects of others. However, to undertake anything, we must have a small dose of boldness. Life without boldness won’t give us a ready-made plate of food to eat. Daring is difficult, and refusing challenges is the easier way to live.
        So easy things or difficult things become the measure of all things. No one has had an easy life. Even those who have the power must work to maintain it, and they depend on people who do not want to live in order to protect the dreams of powerful people.
      In reality, we have built a world that imposes difficulties, and our mistakes make our lives harder. There is no formula to solve this. Some individuals try and fail; others ignore these expectations and live one day at a time.
