One might ask this question themselves once in a lifetime, and if you encounter this kind of question, you're probably the struggler, and the answer to this question is not as simple as you might think.

In the realm of human existence, the stark contrast between abundance and scarcity is an enduring enigma. Some individuals glide through life seemingly blessed with every advantage, be it wealth, beauty, or opportunities galore. Their journey appears effortless, as if the universe conspired to grant their every desire. Yet, beyond the spotlight, others toil in obscurity, grappling with the harsh realities of adversity and deprivation.

At those kinds of times, one might wonder why life seems so unfair sometimes. Some people glide through existence seemingly untouched by hardship, while others face uphill battles at every turn. It’s a puzzle as old as humanity itself. On the one hand, the fortunate inherit wealth, beauty, and opportunity effortlessly. They’re born into privilege, enjoying a smoother path through life. Their success can seem like an unattainable dream for those who struggle.

So, why do some seem to have it all while others struggle? It’s a question that transcends mere circumstance, delving deep into the fabric of human experience. Perhaps the answer lies not in comparison but in acceptance. Acceptance of the diverse paths we tread, the lessons we learn, and the unique gifts we each possess. For in this acceptance lies the potential for empathy, connection, and the realisation that, in the tapestry of existence, every thread, whether gleaming or frayed, weaves a story worth telling.

On the flip side, adversity breeds strength. Those who confront challenges learn to navigate through them, building resilience and determination. They forge their own paths, carving out success through sheer willpower and hard work. In the process, their character undergoes transformation, evolving to embody qualities like empathy, humility, and a deeper understanding of themselves and everything.

Adversity acts as a crucible, shaping individuals through hardship. Those who endure struggle often emerge with a depth of character forged in the fires of challenge. They develop resilience, perseverance, and grit, honing their spirits in the face of obstacles.

Not comparison, but Acceptance is the answer, Struggler!
