the simplicity of life

In life, do your job. If your job is to hunt, then hunt. If your job is to farm, then farm. If your job is to lead, then lead. Well, seems easy enough. But what if we tweaked it a little and said, if your job is to do as you're told, then do as you're told.

Why can't you do as you're told? If that is our position in life, then that is our position in life. Why resist the natural order of things? What gain can one achieve by swimming against the current? The greener fields are down below. Why fight against fate, at the cost of your soul? If our job is to be obedient, then be obedient. Our jobs are blessings. They are stepping stones toward the life after. In short, they are within life itself, each stone being placed there by our Creator.

Each man should follow the path set before him. Step on one stone at a time, then move on to the next. Never try hopping off the path onto a stone belonging to another. Why hate your path? Is your wisdom wise? The foundation under every man's road is His wisdom. His choice is what is best for you. Why hop onto another man's stone? The grass is always greener on the other side. You'll soon find that stone not to your liking.

Stay content with what you have. Why martyr yourself in a reckless bid to influence humanity? Is your way best? No one will thank you. They will clap their hands and look away for the next show. Why try to change the world? Is your way best? No one will remember you. They will pen down your name in the books but not in their hearts. No one cares. Leave things as they are. Let it be as it is. If you are put in a box, stay in the box until you are taken out. That is the way life is, and should be.

Besides, we cannot all live the same life. If we climb up, it is on the head of another. In coming out of oppression, we oppress others. We cannot all be kings. And thus, in this, I'd rather take only what I'm given by Him, staying in my proper place.

It is not about where you are in life or what you have to do, but how you go about doing it. Whether you fulfill the responsibilities awarded to you. Whether your duties are accomplished as they should be. And whether amidst all these, we shine the Light as we should. That is what matters. That is all that matters. It is all about how we go about living life, rather than what kind of life we have.

At the end of all things, it is the same. In life, do your job.
