Life As We Know It

Sometimes the world seems like a horrible place. A place full of nothing but misfortune and unfairness and you seem like an insignificant object somewhere in the depths of it. Your life is treating you badly and your world seems to be falling apart. What you had planned when you were 10 years old as your life's goal seems impossible now. You realise that something you were once the best at, there's now someone better. Hardly a day goes by where you don't feel like digging a hole and jumping into it, only resurfacing when the world outside is perfect. This metaphor has been used so many times by so many people and has been heard so many times. But those people don't realised what it is that they are actually saying... When the world outside is perfect? How is it going to become perfect? How is it going t become what you want it to be? But then these are the questions and answers that they are running away from. This is why they want to dig a hole and hide in it. If you think about it though, is it the right thing? Running away? Is the the best solution? Or is it just a temporary one where we can smile for an hour and then end up with a creased forehead, worrying about it for the rest of the day. Maybe the best thing to do is face it; look it straight in the eye and deal with it. This of course, is easier said than done no doubt, but our minds are mentally capable of pulling off any feat currently known to man; it is only a question of how badly we want it, and what lengths we're willing to go to get it.
