there comes a time in every man's life when he decides what is most important to him. life is arranged in a way where we are expected to love and care for everyone. but, not everyone adheres to that kind of thinking. people betray you. they leave you. hurt you. and then you have to ask yourself what the point of it all is.
some people feel like their purpose is simply to please everyone around them. they give and give and sacrifice their own happiness for someone else. but, what are you supposed to do when you can't seem to please anyone. not a single human being. if your entire life is built on that notion, life ends when you fail to complete what was asked of you. some take their lives.
some people feel like their purpose in life is to seek recognition. i am all to familiar with this concept. the pressure to succeed is like a gun to your head. it's like a do or die situation. sometimes we get lucky and we draw blanks. but, the anticipation of that trigger is enough to drive you mad. growing up we are designed to do the right thing. go to school. go to college. get married. father and mother kids. create a happy household. do what's right not for your own personal gains but for the betterment of your loved ones. even the holy scriptures tell the same kind of stories. the pressure to do well in order to be recognized or appreciated can drive you mad. succeeding just to succeed. what if you never receive that recognition? some take their lives.
the pressure is thick my brothers. they want us to be what we aren't destined to be. i say let's just do whatever we want to do and hope for the best. accountability still holds a grip on you, so don't go too wild. live for your own happiness. live with all of us in mind. don't hurt me. and i won't hurt you. we will just live like men used to live. for the sake of living.
