Hello all. The title of the essay has been changed. It is a problem that everyone faces. This essay is not really a real problem. It is a problem that everybody has. Ranging from kids to adults to old folks. Actually, the problem is quite simple. But when you piece it up in your mind, it may start to get a little complicated. At least that is how I feel...
The moment we are born is the last day we are truly free.
What do I mean by that, I think you should know what I am talking about. The BIG problem is life itself. Think about this, before we were born, we are protected by our mother's warm embrace, shielding us against the evil of the outside world. We cannot think, talk or make any decisions when we are still a foetus. Foetuses are pure, innocent, untocuhed by the influences of the outside world. They have no worries about anything. However, when they are born, when they made contact with the outside world, they are no longer free. The babies are being weighed down by not only gravity, but also burdens. They just do not know it yet.
When the babies are developing, their parents put all hope on their descendants. This already gives the baby a wish to fulfil for their parents. When babies turn into toddlers, they must fufil the requirements of their parents to walk and talk instantly. It seems as though they are forced to do so unwillingly. When the toddlers grow into kids and teenaers, they will socialise, restructure and reorganise their way of thinking. This is when they get influenced by the outside world. Be it good company or bad company, humans change their thoughts by their peers. In addition, teenagers have to meet their parents' standard to score good grades for their examinations. This puts stress on them and they feel troubled. They will eventually move into the rebellious stage and feel that their parents think too highly of them and justs wants to be left alone.
Moving onto adults. Adults are more mature in their thoughts and will think more rationally than the younger generation. However, they still face problems too. Being more mature, adults think that they are able to do whatever they want and have the ambition of getting his hands on it. For the adults who face heart break or rejection before, please raise up your hands. I am sure that a handful would have faced it before. The pain is extremely excruciating as your loved one just dumped you all of a sudden.
Adults tend to face alot of stress from their superiors, colleagues, or juniors. Being stuck in the middle, one has to face alot of pressure. You must be able to satisfy your boss, you must be able to compete with you peers, and you must be able to stay a notch above your juniors. That is a hell lot of stress man! Believe me, I understand that predicament. In the school academic 'socialites', maintaining if not improving is a must. It is never an option to just slack and not do any work at all.
Imagine how much you have gone through throughout your life? Maybe it is time to enjoy your twilight your twilight years in peace. But are you sure about that? Many grandparents who should be enjoying life now are still either working or being a 24/7 super-nanny. They must cook, feed the child, teach the child, scold the child, nuture the child when their parents are not at home. They are actually not obliged to do it, but for the sake of the child, they still do it.
Soon, maybe in many years time, humans may stop wanting to carry on their family line. It will happen, but we do not know when. So, when the human race stops functioning completely, we will never face THE problem again. In summary, the essay just proves one point, which is if you want no worries or burdens, do not be existing.
