The realities of life are deep to comprehend. The more we know , the less we understand. What a mystery.

Five blind men described an elephant based on the part of the elephant they touched.

The first described the elephant as a thick snake, the second as a fan, the third as a tree trunk, the fourth as a wall and the last, as a rope.

They may not have described the elephant in totality however, their descriptions are valid.

This is also applicable to the realities life. Our conception of life is based on our experiences. No two persons can give the same explanation to life.

To some, life is beautiful with nice experiences while to others, life is difficult with hurtful experiences.

This explains why some hunger for what to eat while others lavish away in plenty. The rich gets richer while the poor gets poorer.

This is the reality of life, this is the way we know life. Life itself is not fair. Nature has it that not everyone can be on the same level.

The earlier we accept and take life the way it is, the better for us.
