Always remain human

You always realize how something is dear for you (a person, a favorite animal, a
relationship, or... anything) when you lose it... You ask yourself: why did it happen? Why
has it happened to me and not to someone else?And are you the only one who is such a
loser? Life has prepared its own story and obstacles for each of us. And now everything
depends on a person's choice, we always stand between two roads, and it all depends on
our intuition which way to turn. Give up or to live on and fight. Many people choose the
path of least resistance and fall into the abyss, not thinking that in the future they can still
experience many splendid moments and be happy. They are overwhelmed by everything,
they have no strength to fight, thebutton of egotismis turned on, they do not care about
the opinions of others and want to just give up, not look for ways to solve problems,
because everything can be solved, settled, covered up or mitigated.
A spell of bad luckcannot last forever, we need toagree to a compromise, and make
every effort, because nothing is done as easily as that, we will not succeed. We shouldn't
think that no one needs us, because everyone has some kind of feeling for us in their own
way, even if it is negative, but it is not indifference, the love of relatives and friends,
jealousy, desire, care-all of this cannot be neglected. We are made like this.
If we think that we are the most unfortunate, we are already making a mistake, we
just need to think aboutthose who are homeless, the children who were abandoned by
their parents, the animals who have nothing to eat, the disabled who will be bed-ridden till
the end of their lives, the blind who will never see the light, and the deaf who will never
hear the voice of their loved ones and the sounds of the heartbeat, and think about it and
realize that your situation is not as hopeless as you thought before. And the only thing left
to do is to make every effort, to overcome laziness, not to put off until tomorrow what you
can do today, tobetray your principles, and most importantly - not to lose heart and always
remain human. And you will see thatthings will sort themselves put with the lapse of time,
because God does not send us obstacles that we cannot overcome, it is just a little test for
the ability to be happy, remember that.
