Have we ever encountered people who have suffered from horrible tragedies yet succeeded in their life? Are you privileged enough to do wonders then?
The following odyssey will explain the aforementioned statement.
‘I am up to the creek without a paddle and suffering from suicidal ideations,’ said my friend. I asked him what the matter is. ‘My father passed away just a little while ago.’ he replied. ‘Death is inevitable—mortal creatures have to die one day.’ I told him, trying to make him make sense of these words.
Only after a few days, news broke out like the bolt from the blue that his mother passed away. I was shocked to come across this. My crestfallen friend couldn’t bear with his mother’s passing away and was whisked off to a psychiatrist.
Even though he was given a variety of medicines and counseling sessions, his condition seemed to be exacerbating. If any one of you asked me about his painful experience, I would fall short of words to explain it.
As time passed, my friend’s conditions, however, improved. Yet as luck would have it, now the issue was of different nature: the source of his income was negatively affected as consequences of the tragedies. And instead of living in the past and crying over the tragedy, he started to earn his bread along with working on his ambition.
The bottom-line of this story is that we should never give up in life and that death, destruction, and tragedies are a part of life. We should learn to tackle them and continue to live.
