Some people may see themselves as contented with what they have become in life.Some people may see themselves as happy with what they have accomplished in life.
Some people may see themselves as happy with what they have achieved after a long time And some are just getting there.
Looking at yourself, who do you want to be? What do you want to accomplish? What is it that drives you? And what has become of you? Many questions are dealt with everyday.
A mother fervently giving her children good education - what will her kids become of when she stops working as a prostitute. With no education herself, this is what she has come to live by so that her children may not have the same fate as hers.
A worker starting out in a foreign land, because back home, life is harsher, only to find out, his papers are illegitimate and is forced to work in a sweatshop.
A father who is trying to keep his son understands why his mother left them because he has STD, and the mother found out about his womanizing.
A husband pretending to leave his house every morning for his work, only to be found in the streets, looking for a job as he was retrenched...too ashamed to admit to his wife what has happened to him.
A sister keeps her promise that she will not leave her siblings to die of hunger because her parents sold them to strangers as they could no longer support and raise them.
But life as we know it...gives us these trials to make us realize how resilient and how strong we are.
Faith as we know it is our greatest defense from crumbling into pieces.
Love is the one that keeps us sane when we are hit by life's bitter and tragic moments.
Hope, as we see it, is our shield from constant failures; that somehow, we will emerge victorious on our everyday battles.
So hear this. for all of us, who face our daily struggles... let's keep our faith, fight for our love, and embrace our hopes. Cause life is too short to give up on it.
