Once, there was a boy who wanted to buy an ice-cream. He had money in his hand. He knew where the ice-cream shop is. Yet, he could not get any ice-cream. He was so disappointed and sad. It was not the reason that the ice-cream man did not want to sell. But it was because the machine was broken down at the point of time. That is the reason that he could not get any ice-cream. He felt very sad that he set down and cried. He had money and was at the right place and right time yet he could not get any ice-cream.
At one point of our lives, we are in this kind of situation. We are like the boy in above story, we have everything but we could not get what we want or we did not even get what we deserve to get. We tried very hard but at the end of the day an outcome is very disappointing. We did not do anything wrong to be placed in this situation. When we are in this situation, some of us respond the situation negatively. They feel unsatisfied with everything. They mourn over what has happened over and over again. They put all the blames on people around them. They carry the hatred and unbearable feelings inside their heart. For some, they bear all these troubles and disappointments by themselves. They struggle through it until the end. The beautiful thing about them is they do not look for someone to blame everything although it is horribly painful. They are alone when they walk this road for no one can understand the circumstances. Yet, while they are struggling to overcome these obstacles, they still keep the hope. The hope that one day they would be in the place where they truly are supposed to be in.
It is a choice that one can choose how to react this kind of situation. One can choose to give up and react harshly. Yet, one can choose to deal with the situation with all the energy that one has and overcome it joyfully.
