Burdens Differ.

What do you call growth in your own definition?

I sat and was thinking as I looked at me from every point of view.
When I got my Job I already set a goal to be achieved at the end of a certain time frame but life played on me, as I covered that time frame with barely a goal to be achieved.

I looked around as I saw my peers mount up with great things which is assumed to be a sign of great achievement.

I tried to compare with what they have done but then there is nothing to show for it as it all amounts to things that are more convincing physical things portraying an act of doing well in their aspect of life.

What could have been wrong? This question kept repeating itself in my head: what have they done that I did not try?

While I sat at my quiet place getting this thought through trying to figure out what should be the next line of action to take to ensure I level up with these guys then a thought flashed through my head with the write up “Burdens differ" I quickly had a reset in my thinking.

I began to look closely at these guys in question, then I discovered most of them have got only their burden to carry on their shoulders. They have got no responsibilities outside of their own.

I discovered most of them have got someone to look up to like their elder siblings who they can easily run to for help and so it makes life pretty much easier for them.

This simply tells that they hardly share what they have with other people but instead they collect from others to add to the little they have got, giving them an edge towards getting things done without much stress.

This is not the same for me as I am the one that is looked up to. The cry of being the first child of your parents all you do is to ensure everyone is fine.
So the thought came again “what achievement do you want that is better than growing everyone of your siblings?”

A friend of mine once told me to my face how useless and nonsense my job is, this is someone who was given a huge sum of money by his elder brother to venture into a business he had nobody to fit their bills as he happens to be the last child among 4 elderly siblings who are doing well.

What do I do when I don't have an elder brother that is wealthy not to talk of having 4 of them? I have to bend my head into making life beautiful so that the last child of my parents will also start on a solid foundation.

When people complain of how unfair life is, just let them be.

Irony of Life.
