Act it!

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffering. If there is a purpose in life at all, there must be a purpose in suffering and dying. But no man can tell another what this purpose is. Each must find out himself, and must accept the responsibility that his answer prescribes.

Do you feel like you’re suffering and no one can understand your suffering because it’s too complicated to be said or written? Maybe that’s the case, what can be done about it? Should you let something that is within your own control to cause you suffering? No, you can eliminate the misery by taking control of your emotions. They should be placed in familiar boxes that will allow you to access and pack them neatly. We just have to acknowledge that there’s a reason for our suffering because miseries come with being alive. We experience emotions because we encounter a lot of situations that require our attention and impact our personal lives. Take comfort in knowing you’re alive, and “if there’s purpose in life at all, there must be a purpose in suffering and dying.”
With control comes the power to act, then responsibility, and as much as we may run away from this responsibility, at the end we have to be accountable for our actions. You can’t just demand control over your life without accounting for your actions, there are rules that we have tangled ourselves with by associating with other entities[living and non-living]. They give purpose and meaning in life, when we run away from them we can never find true happiness.
Circumstances should not influence the mind, the fact that one is suffering it means that there’s still life, and there’s a lesson to be taken. We often put ourselves in miseries because we don’t want to accept the responsibilities of our actions and the reality of our circumstances. I swear being high is nice and it makes you forget about your current reality, but when the high comes down, the reality is not as further down as we thought, it’s staring at you, in your dazed face. As much as we would like to escape it, it’s still there, it’s your own reality and needs to be faced by you in a clear mind.
As much as words are spoken and written, they need to be acted on, in a responsible manner that respects the order of life, with each association in every situations we encounter. A manner that is different for each individual depending on their circumstances… Not any man.
It’s time to look at your actions and be responsible when doing so. Because life is different for each individual and requires him to act in a way that shows he is responsible for his circumstances. It’s not easy facing reality because the truth is bitter and that can’t be easy for anyone. But you just have to make the hard choices, and act in your truth because without it, you have no purpose and meaning in this existence. Don’t just say the word or even write it only, just do it, act and be responsible for whatever outcomes of your actions.
