Thoughts

Lately I've had so many thoughts running through my head. First, trying to understand life and the other, trying to understand why one never truly becomes free from problems. Life was more promising and fun as a child. My major problem then was the three basic needs of man(food, shelter, and clothing), making money wasn't even on the list, one had that sorted out by people who were responsible for our well-being,but not any more. We stay out late and play under the moonlight, sometimes listening to folks and tales. We thought adulthood had more to explore, more freedom to enjoy, but one thing we were never told was that freedom comes with sacrifice and responsibilities.

Now I've grown into an adult, so much freedom at my disposal but with a cost known as responsibilities. Adulthood is actually fun, but the responsibilities take away the joy and give one trouble at a time. The poor and average need money, piled with bills and debts to pay immediately their phone rings with an alert, the rich on the other hand desire peace which becomes an illusion for them- there's always one way to go wrong that makes you have one problem that troubles you. Sometimes I tell myself if I can have 2 million naira I'd be fine afterwards. I know the 2 million naira can help me settle so many needs, but it can solve life's vicissitudes that keeps surfacing.

Just ranting about responsibilities and the pressure of life. At a point it's overwhelming, tiring, and one question himself about so many things like; why are we here?, were we sent on earth just to struggle for money?, after having money, what next?, why is life difficult and why do people suffer pain in silence?, so many questions with unsatisfied answers. Unfortunately things get tougher each day and we can only hope that our tears are wiped out someday.
