Have You Ever Thought...

Have you ever thought that life is a continuum of struggles?

The moment you were born, you were struggling for your first breath of life. And the moment you die, you struggle for the last breath of departure.

And they don't come free. You paid to be born, in the hospital/delivery charges. And when you die you or rather, your estate have to pay for the funeral charges etc.

Once you are born you grow up or rather, grow old. You don't grow young. And this cost money too.

You have to work to sustain your life. You marry and settle down, for most people anyway, and then you have children, for most people again. And this means more struggle.

And in between, life is no bed of roses, family life is no bed of roses, for most people again. Yes, there are moments when you smell the roses and you think you are in sixth heaven. I dare not say seventh heaven.

Then you grow up further, I mean you get older. And more problems.

And then you die, however rich or however poor you may be.

Silly, isn't it?

Have you ever thought...God or Godot or whatever got it wrong?
