A nagging question

Making people happy, working hard to inspire others, controlling your emotions to satisfy the demands of society!

Why??

Is this what we were meant for? Why can’t life be so simple from birth to death? Why everyone is struggling for better but unaware of their happiness? Why people are so dedicated to themselves? Why everyone has forgotten the reality of their existence? Is this what we were meant for? Why it is too hard to stabilize the situations?

Why can’t people come out of their painful past even through that they are living in the future? Why we people are sufferers? Why have we lost the grace of our faces even though having every comfort of our life?

After striving and patience, why is our soul still so far from happiness and satisfaction! Why is there so much hatred for some people while others enjoy every luxury!

If people wish for happiness and peace, why war is still not letting them to be at ease? Everyone has become so mean and that is what has cost all our life.

Everyone bears this hard life but when it comes to death all of them wish to survive more for a while.

Why our problems, our troubles, our worries make us forget the people who meant the world to us. Why goodness is so short lived while bad lasts forever?

Everyone loves you just when their demands are fulfilled. Is this what we were meant for? Why can’t we remember our Lord while he remembers each one of us!

If life is all lie then why were we put into it and if life after death is the reality then why are we all afraid of it! Is this what we were meant for?

Is this all what we call life???

Are we really living or just stuck between life and survival???
