Topic 17: LIFE IS SIMPLE; WE, HUMAN BEINGS, COMPLICATE IT FOR OURSELVES

You belittle and look down on others because you think you are better than them today. You kill others by your words and actions for you to selfishly obtain a position. You deceive and manipulate others for you to get riches and wealth. 

You climb to the top solely at the detriment of others. You bring others down for you to get favor, which would not last you for life. There are certain “principles of life” human beings fail to realize, and our ignorance caused us to make life harder for ourselves and our neighbors. Our greediness, pride, selfishness, me-and-myself mentality have made us forgotten we cannot have or be everything in the world.

Adolf Hitler, if asked today, would say you can’t dominate the world completely, even if you have all the forces at your disposal.

Jose Mourinho, unless he pretends, would say Pride would take you nowhere but bring your

downfall.

Bill Gate, if asked today, would say you can’t have all the riches in the world even if you remain the richest man on earth for decades.

Saddam Hussein, if asked today, would say you can’t rule for life even if you rule a kingdom from the day you were born.

King Solomon, if asked today, would say you can’t have all the most beautiful girls in the world even if you keep marrying thousands till you die.

Methuselah, if asked today, would say you can’t live forever even if you live more than 1001 years.

Thomas Edison, if asked today, would say, you can’t invent all even if you contributed vastly to science and technology.

Mohammed Ali, if asked today, would say you can’t conquer all even if your punch weighs more than 1000 pounds.

Ben Carson, if asked today, would say you can’t save all the lives in the world even if you are the most brilliant physician.

Albert Eistein, if asked today, would say you can’t invent or create a life even if you are the greatest scientist of all time.

Lionel Messi, if asked today, would tell you sooner or later, someone better than you would come to outshine and overhaul your records one day

Then why do you want to grab the whole world to your bosom? We would be what we are meant to be, and have to leave the rest for others to be. We cannot have it all and we cannot be it all.
