Today I am going to talk to you about my aspect of life and making peace with reality
First of all, what is reality? Well, it has many definitions, but in general, I believe reality is the distinguishing of real life from fantasies; it is the truth around us, the real world and the physical existence of our being.
Reality for some people can be at times overwhelming, final exams, due dates, social responsibilities and an accustomed tune of economical and financial worry are only but a few of the everyday realties that we all live with. There is no questioning the fact the these stressful situations combined can in turn create an overwhelming amount of strain and tension for a person, and at times that person would only want to escape that reality by any means necessary. We do have some control over what happens to us, but never can we have complete control.
In this life there are some who consider it to be unfair, why? They claim that since they never asked to be alive in the first place and never agreed to any conditions, then they should not have to follow any guidelines or rules sent forth to live a fulfillfull life, or even live for that matter
But what is life? For those of us who believe in god and the holy books, we perceive life as a test of the worthy whereby the triumphant who have abided by the rules set down by god and enforced by their religion, gain access to there kingdoms in heaven, as for those who don’t, they will have to endue an eternal suffering in the fires of hell.
Yet for those who do not have a religion on which to base their beliefs upon, their task in life is of a more substantially obdurate standpoint. Unlike the believers, they view life as nothing, and predict no afterlife and therefore leaving almost no room for the appreciation of the gift of life, and therefore, they wish it to end as soon as possible.
The reality of living in this case is, life, as a whole, is hard. But only to those who make it so. You see, all of us have dreams, ambitions and hopes but most of us don’t ever realize that in the end, none of everything that I have just stated even matters. Most of our worries and our financial problems, social obligations, term papers and future developments plans wont benefit us when we’re dead.

For you see, the only guarantee that we have in life, is that one-day it will end.

But why view this fact in a negative light?
True, perhaps everything that we ever made in this world will go to waste after we’re gone, and maybe there isn’t anything that awaits us when our souls leave our bodies after death. But how can we be sure? How can anyone claim that there is no heaven when all we see around us are signs of it? Is it possible that an entire eco system complete with oceans, mountains, skies, and millions of different kinds of living organisms all perfected within their own habitats, can this really all happen and be organized by chance? Coincidence? Who knows, if its words of comfort that you are all awaiting to hear, then there aren’t any. However, I will give you one more guarantee, and this is a fact that we all know but do not realize, and that fact is that when life around us ends, and we do cross over into the unknown twilight, all of our doubts, all our dreams hopes and questions, everything will be answered.
There is an old Kuwaiti saying that goes “Everything in its right time and place is sweet”
Why do we worry about and await the things that we cannot prevent. Why worry about the imminent when we can just live the moment?
What is the worse that can come from living our lives and accepting the fact that life only comes once and that it really is precious?
We should focus on the good things in life, the things we do while living, the people we care about and the things that matter. Speaking for myself, if life were a business, I would invest in faith, a religion, a god. In hopes of following the correct guidelines to the best of my ability, and rest assured each night that I do have all seeing eye that watches over me, that there are angels on this earth that come in many shapes and forms which do save me from my actions and guide everyone through to a better path. And that by abiding to those guidelines and maintaining my faith, I will have earned my kingdom in heaven and so I shall gain it.
Perhaps to some they might claim it as a false approach to life, and that I am throwing it away. But in reality, when a person believes in something so strongly, and surrenders to those beliefs like I have, it allows people like me to take our minds off the things that so many people are confused over and question, leaving us with only the delightful fruits of a precious gift that is life itself. No matter what the situation that you face may be, no matter how tough it may seem, try to focus outside of that problem, and take a look at the big picture, and you’ll see just how small and ridiculous our everyday problems really are. However, it doesn’t mean that we should neglect everything that we currently have based our lives upon, it only means that we continue living in a manner that suits us best and excel in our pursuit of happiness and future greatness, without taking the things that will not emotionally benefit us too seriously. If there is ever a time in which we believe a situation has gone out of our control, all we need to ask ourselves is simply “what’s the worst that could happen?”
Reality bites, as some people would say, but the wounds of reality can only heal if you allow them to. If you accept the fact that the world does not evolve around you, but that you are a part of something that is great and so sophisticated and can only be realized when you have lived your life to the best of your abilities and end it with the notion that you have done everything that you believe was required, seen everything you ever wanted and passed all your knowledge down to the next generations who may follow in your footsteps and find comfort with the story of your life, so that they may have the ability to fulfill theirs if they cannot do it by themselves, then you will have lost nothing, gained everything and cant rest assured that there is nothing left for you here and that you need no longer fear venturing into the next world. This is what I have selected to be my aspect of life and reality, and every individual is free to find their own but with the same goal of being happy, because in the end there is nothing to lose if you do just that.

In conclusion, I urge all individuals to simply take it easy.

Thank you
