Life is a Process


We are born, like every other, and expected to grow
In nursery we envy those in Primary
And wish we get there sooner than later
In primary we wish we are in Secondary
Daydream about leaving home, away from house chores into boarding schools
But
Little did we know that in Boarding we would do more chores than is necessary
Have little access to that which is ours and live a restricted life.
In secondary we think it is more inconveniencing living this life
Then we earnestly anticipate Tertiary education
A world of freedom without limits
But
As soon as we start enjoying it
ITS OVER!

We are released into a world
Different from what we have known
A world, unknown to us where responsibility is expected
even from those who are Irresponsible
A world for which we have been preparing for all these while
Reality sets in and struggle begins

Soon we start living a triangular Lifestyle
Work - Home- Church/Mosque (occasionally)
And like we did when we were little
We anticipate the future
Posh rides, Mansions, Husband/wife and Children
Without Learning the Lessons of the Day
Having aspiration for positions we are not prepared for

In the end
We attain those heights
Either by nook or by Crook
And wish we never did
Emptiness inside, we become scared of
Moving to the next phase
Dyeing of the hair, plastic surgery
And various degree of upliftment and reduction
Becomes the order of the day
We look back and wish we could turn back time.
To no avail.

Know this
Experience is meant to be a part of Life's learning process
If you fail to learn the lessons of today
You will suffer greatly tomorrow.

LIFE IS NOT A REPOSE, IT IS A PROCESS
