Struggle
Why is struggle an inseparable phenomenon of life? Is it possible to get rid of struggle and live a life free of struggle? Is it even optimal to live a struggle-free life? Is it distributed equally or fairly?
Struggle can be conceptualized as obstacles or impediments manifesting in the active span of a specific pursuit undertaken by the subject to achieve some self-acknowledged valued goal. It can be argued that without such impediments the pursuit undertaken would be much more manageable in terms of its toughness and will result in a huge reduction of trials and tribulations that would have to be borne by the subject. Even though the path will become more comfortable, this comfort will come at a subsequent cost of the reduced value of that goal. If the topic of struggle is studied deeply, it can be concluded that the amount of struggle that is required to be borne while pursuing an undertaken path and the value of the achievement to be experienced by the subject with the arrival of the destination of such a path are directly proportional. In simple words, an extremely valuable conquest demands an extremely painful struggle to be undertaken. In fact, it can be said that anything that is achieved without struggle is valueless in the achiever’s experience. A life worth living is nothing but a long pursuit consisting of innumerable shorter and more trivial pursuits that are directed towards realizing the subject’s personally defined greatness, and as there is nothing more valuable than greatness, the subject needs to accept struggle as an inseparable phenomenon of life.
Equality and fairness are inequitable terms in themself, therefore struggle’s relationship to both will be defined differently. An extensive analysis of the lives of multiple subjects, it can be understood that struggles are in no way distributed equally, however, the nature of the distribution is not entirely arbitrary. What seems to be happening is that the subjects who are more capable of contending with a higher level of struggle are the ones who actually have to contend with it. As previously established, this possibly occurs because of the fact that the subjects who have a higher capability to contend with struggle usually do not settle for a goal that is beneath their level of tolerance. In short, subjects who have a higher tolerance will go for tougher and more valuable goals and in consequence, bring on the struggles upon themselves.
When the topic of fairness is discussed in this respect, one thing is certain, if the subjects have the ability and capability to choose and contend with the level of struggles of their own free will then there isn't fundamentally any other situation where this struggle distribution could have been any fairer.
