BORN TO SURVIVE




You can't expect life to be as smooth as butter, after all difficulties are the spice of life and aren't we all born to survive?
the foundation of this word ' survival' it self stands on obstacles and obstructions. the presence of difficulties insure a good fight for survival. 
Life is the greatest endowment by God and we ought to live it to the fullest savoring even the toughest of times. And for that survival is the key.
The river makes out it's way through the hills that might be thick or thin, it breaks the rocks that come in it's way and flows over the uneven path to complete it's journey.
As a child when I used to hear about suicides I was left shocked, maybe because I was not aware of the dark truths of life. But as I grew up the word survival got a whole new meaning for me. I realise that there are a number of things you have to fight with to achieve the things you are fighting for. 
no matter how rough the phase of life is, a need to survive shall be there. there has to be something you should survive for- it could be the family, the loved ones or some aim that still needs to be accomplished. there is someone or something that guides you through. Survival has different perspectives for different people. a person might see it as a fight against wrong doers of every kind or fight an ailment. To achieve a long yearned dream or t nurture a dwindling hope. 
   "sweet my child, I live for thee."
this line from the poem- " Home They Brought Her Warrior Dead" by Alfred Tennyson clearly paints the picture of a widow who survived for her child. the consequences of the game of life might be uncertain but survival till the end surely brings loads of experiences and we step out as a stronger person. 
a smile on the face and hope in heart makes survival a load more easier. try to enjoy the challenges life throws to you, I am sure survival would become a ride in an amusement park and life would become something to live for
