Surviving in the Wilderness of Society

"To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering."

Friedrich Nietzsche

Many people go through life without meaning in their actions. Personally, I feel that enduring through hardships and difficulties is what life is all about. It teaches us as humans how to adapt to our environments. In a way, the things that hurt us help us. Whenever knocked down, it is natural for us to get up, which in turn, makes us stronger. As you experience more and more challenges in life, you gain wisdom. You learn from your mistakes, and this teaches you not to correct them the next time again. Trial and error, as many would call it. Where eventually after failure there will be success. I always hear about people complaining about their little problems, and it is ridiculous, because eventually they will just have to face more problems in the future, problems that would be even worse. So suck it up, the only way to get through something is to face it head on, where you can confront your problems and solve them instead of hiding. Eventually it gets to a point where you can finally be carefree-- where you have been through it all, and nothing else can really effect you as it had before. In my opinion, this is what life is all about: just getting through it. No one knows what is in the afterlife, or if there even is one, so enjoy life while you can. In a nutshell, life is just an adventure that you create yourself, where the ending to the story is unknown, and probably never will be. Take it as you will, but your time spent on this earth is what you make of it. Life if your canvas and you are the artist behind it. You paint your dreams, your beliefs, your opinions, and you strive for them all. This would be a great place to say, "The sky is the limit", but even that is wrong. There are so many possibilities in the future; the sky is only the beginning.
