Fighting One's Demon Alone

Fighting Our Demons Alone

Fighting our demons alone is a tough phase of one's life, and it turns out to be a phase that is really hard for someone to overcome sometimes.

Because sometimes you literally just feel like you might not make it pass that stage, but trust me, it's just your demons trying to bring out his ugly head to make you give up, but you sure will overcome with time.

It's just a phase that will literally pass someday, just like the saying which says nothing lasts forever; just trust the process and keep up with the race.

There are some phases in life that we just have to face all by ourselves and fight alone with no one trying to help because it's our fight, and if we don't fight it ourselves, it might be hard to cope with a tougher stage in life.

Life hits us all differently. Personally, I'm a person who doesn't like watching someone I really love or care for pass through any pain or any kind of stress.

And I always try to make myself available to help in any situation when I'm opportune to do so.

But then, sometimes I just sit myself down and wonder, What am I even doing? Why am I doing this exactly? Am I really helping this person, or am I making the person more vulnerable to other tough life challenges ahead of them?

Because, truth be told, if we all have our ways of not letting our children, partners, families, etc. go through any stress in life or face any reality of life till the last day of their lives,.

The majority of us will do anything possible to make sure they don't have the so-called crazy experiences of life and end up helping them become weaker.

Because the truth is, we cannot always be there for them in times of trouble or when they need us the most in life.

The best we can do for them is help them with knowledge and tips to help conquer their tough stages in life, not always help them fight because we would only help them get weaker and make them big cowards who could not fight their own fights themselves.

And then they will always need you to help them fight their demons when they are in their down times, and that only gives them no chance to have been able to face the reality of life.

A Typical Example

Just for example, if a child wants to learn how to drive a bicycle, and just because you love the child way too much, you're always protecting the child while riding.

How soon will the child be able to ride on his or her own without the help of her guidance? How soon?. But if you give the child a chance to figure out how to do it themselves, he or she would be a better rider with Time. That's just a typical example of how some of us overpampered our loved ones and make them weaker in the times when they are supposed to draw strength from.

I hope I'm able to impart knowledge to you that we can't always be there for our loved ones, even though we love them so much and can't watch them pass through the pains and realities of life.

But we just have to sometimes prepare them for future tough times in life so we can help them fight their demons well and conquer them.
