This question is a serious question but if such a question is asked from where I come from regardless of the benefit to mankind what happens is just laughter.
You will be laughed at for real.
And since the part where I come from ask questions as an answer for the questions asked. The reply to that question will be "Don't you know what is going on in this country?"
And when such a response is given to you, you surely will have an answer to the question you asked.
A country that answers questions with questions forcing you to answer your question yourself.
Why is it hard to meditate?
This question is crystal clear and every answer that will be given will also be crystal clear.
There are a billion and one reasons why it is hard to meditate but everyone who finds it difficult to meditate has a personal reason why he or she finds it difficult. The reasons vary since we all have our challenges and our reason can never be the same.
While some might tell you that the reason why they find it difficult to meditate is that they are busy with things that will enable them to grow.
Some will rather say they are hungry and for that reason, they won't be able to focus as meditation has to do with focusing on a particular thing taking your mind off all other things that may serve as a distraction.
I have found it very very difficult to meditate as it is not my kind of thing. I can't just take my mind off all other things that seem important all in the name of meditation.
All I do in life is to see how I will grow physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. All these are things that need serious attention.
Though they can be achieved through the act of meditation as I earlier stated it's not my kind of thing.
All I do is sit and pay good attention to all these things. I am sure you won't call that meditation because I am not leaving anyone out. All of them are my problems and need to be settled.
Another thing that makes it hard to meditate is the situation in which a country finds itself.
Meditation also has to do with peace of mind, it means that when your heart is not at peace it will be very difficult to pay attention to something while meditating.
In a country where the security of an individual is not guaranteed, how do you expect this individual to focus on what he or she will want to meditate on?
In this kind of situation, there is no room for you to take your spirit. In the name of meditation, here your spirit, soul and body must always be together so that you won't be taken unaware.
Be at ALERT is the keyword to use here, if you must be alert you will not have to make any of the components that make up a living soul in your travel for any reason.
Meditation is surely good for humanity but the truth about it is that.
I don't think I can do it, since I never started it at a tender age and I have never seen anyone around me do it ranging from my Dad to my friends. It has been a tackling method for every problem to come our way and it has been working.
This should not be a discouraging post as I believe it has worked for so many people and so if you feel that is the best way to go about sorting your problems then it should be.
For as so many that have been doing it, I say keep it up and don't allow people like us and our environment to wear you down.
Thanks for checking the post.
