We struggle so much to achieve a lot of things in life and sometimes if will fail to achieve them we become depressed and so sad we even become a shadow of herself because we fail to achieve our dream, sometimes because of failed relationship we become depressed for months.
We struggle to become wealthy and sometimes even killing other people just to achieve that, we buy cars, build beautiful houses and then one day we DIE.
My former president before this present one in my country dead recently and he has been buried yesterday, he has struggled just so he can be a president and in the cause of that he may have done somethings he wouldn't have love doing.
Now my question is those all this struggle we go through really matters knowing that one day we will die and everything will be lift behind.
For those who believe in religion, christian religion to be precise, and other religions in the world who have similar or like belief with Christianity. The Bible states clearly the reason for our struggles.
In Genesis, it says that because man disobeyed and ate from the fruit he was asked not to eat from, he would suffer and work hard, and from his sweat he shall eat bread. So our daily struggle for survival is a fulfilment of that scripture. Secondly, if we don't like the struggle, we can just relax and not work ourselves to pain. But no, we can't stay idle, we must work so we can eat first, and then, we have people to take care of( our children, wives, families and personal needs). Remember the Bible also says ' A man that can not provide for his family is worse than an infidel'. So it's also obligatory that we must provide for family.
We struggle to leave a better life. For children who came in and met Richies in the family already, somebody already fought the battle and struggled his way out and provided a rich fertile soil for his generation. For death, we will all die, the Bible already mentioned that. But before you die, you have to work out what you will eat all days of your leaving on earth..
