Struggle Intelligently

For any phenomenon to exist in nature, there are some essential conditions that must be present. For example, for fire to exist, it needs flammable materials and high temperature. Similarly, struggling to satisfy one's needs is an immutable condition in human life. Since, we can't avoid struggling to achieve our needs we must struggle intelligently.

            To engage in this struggle, first we need to know what our real needs are because we are continuously brainwashed by others to believe that their needs are our needs.

Our brains and hearts have been contaminated by others, using emotional, psychological and social strategies. Therefore, we need to clear our minds from such concepts and needs created by others for satisfying their needs. Only then can we see our real needs clearly ( I have explained in my website about our real needs-www.youtakeresponsibility.com). Once our real needs are known, we can set out to satisfy our needs. Our real needs can always be satisfied easily. However, others have put many obstacles in satisfying our real needs. If we only try to satisfy our needs, then others will be unable to use us to satisfy their needs. There is a constant tug of war between us and others. It is impossible to satisfy our needs alone. It is essential to satisfy the needs of others as well because we are social animals. But, today some people are making use of the majority of the people without even letting them realize their own needs. It is not cooperation. In fact, it is slavery. It is unsustainable and will result in violence and ultimately in doom. Hence, we need to distinguish our real needs from artificially created needs that serve others. Then, we can decide which needs we should satisfy and to what extent. Then, we are in a position to decide which needs of others we are ready to satisfy. Our real needs can only be satisfied by us. We need to take responsibility of satisfying our needs. No one else is interested in satisfying our needs. They have better things to do. Therefore, others will never guide us properly how to satisfy our needs. We have to plan our own actions one by one and implement them. We must focus on our needs and plan how to satisfy those needs. We must take steps everyday, however small the steps may be, towards our goal. We must visualize and look into future to find out all the impediments that can stop our progress and must take actions in advance to overcome the problems when they finally arrive.

 Only when we constantly keep looking and working towards our aim can we see opportunities. Only then can we grab those opportunities and make unbelievable progress. Therefore, it is necessary to first know our real needs. And then, plan and implement the plan. It is important to focus on the work and aims to grab opportunities. Without grabbing opportunities one can never succeed in life. These things come naturally to us humans. We just need to go back to nature. We just need to remain honest, original in thought and spontaneous. Though it takes a lot of time and patience to succeed in life, life becomes beautiful when we know that we are dealing with the real life and not with deceptions of other humans.

Life is very short and our struggle a long one. That is the essential nature of life. But civilization has made our struggle a lot more difficult. We are humans and our life is a phenomenon that needs struggle to keep ourselves alive. We just need to struggle for the right needs and in the right way. And our life will be meaningful and happy.
