Is it worth it?

“IS IT WORTH IT”?

Many lament on life’s conditions

The pain, the sweat, the hardships,

The struggle, the anguish, the agony,

The failure, the sufferings, the inflation,

The deflations and the storms that come their way

But then, we ask is it worth it?

Why do we seek justice when we are unjust?

Why do we seek a change when we are no better?

Why do we accuse others when we are guilty?

Why do we blame others for the misfortune?

That we catalyzed?

Then you ask yourself is it worth it?

They say life’s unfair.

Who decide what is fair and what is not?

They say life’s hard.

What is life being compared to that makes it hard?

Who determines what is hard and what is not?

The standards of life, who set them?

If we set standards, limitations, goals, for ourselves,

If we rule out what is good and bad,

If we pinpoint what is fair and what is unfair,

Then is it worth the lamentations?

Pugnacious people, we are!

Making us afraid of silhouettes.

Yet we cry out for peace

Is it worth it?

We choose to be laggards and yet blame the leaders and

successful ones

Till we become the change we seek,

Till we become perspicacious people,

Till we understands what goes into life,

Till we become positive and optimistic,

Till we stop pointing accusing fingers,

And face life with all the love and enthusiasm

And give off our best,

All the complains and lamentation will be of no use

They wouldn’t be worth it!
