An Exposition: Driving For Discontentment

The sentiments of dissatisfaction claim lives one by one...

Not for any reason other than one’s own laziness, people will give up on something (tasks, relationships, etc) with sheer effortlessness, rather than continue on with their undertaking to see a verdict revealed. Instead of hanging on to see if victory or defeat is imminent, people will relinquish all joys, rewards, understandings, and new insights that may come with either decision, just for the easy way out.

And for what? The agony of victory? The thrill of defeat? What’s the cost of giving in to defeat and giving up on people?

When one gives up the fight before the final bell rings, they have already rendered a loss before it would have been decided. People in this life give up much too easily. There is no longer a desire for perseverance. There is no longer a desire for determination. As long as you watch out for yourself, you will be fine. Do not worry about the people you let down. Do not worry about your inability to complete a task. Do not worry about seeing a resolution through in a relationship. Do not worry about anybody else. Look out for number one and everything will be okay. This is a poor way to live your life!

The succession of effort to outcome is a necessity in our lives.

All the while, you either decide to give up or continue on the road you are running. A win or a loss is a lesson learned. But to submit before a decision is delivered is pusillanimous. One must choose to better him or herself by finishing the race; no matter if they are first or fiftieth.

Many in the world today see finality as a grave esteem—it can be fixed with time. Take care of yourself now, watch out for others later. “It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.” Whatever you mess up now can be fixed later. Pleasure is viewed as the ultimate goal, no matter how high the price is. Get what you want, than worry about others. It’s the only way you can survive. This is a farce.

Travail to prevail.

You take the good with the bad in this lifetime. A decision, either way is still an outcome; no matter if it’s a win or a loss. If you hung in there, you are a better person for it. We need to be a people who focus on finishing rather than quitting. Let’s stop concerning ourselves with selfish intentions and live our lives with selfless desire.
