I was at Urban Outfitters one melancholic day, thumbing through one of their books, when I came across the following:
“When I hear somebody sigh, ‘Life is hard,’ I am always tempted to ask, ‘Compared to what?’”
-Sydney J. Harris
The first thought that occurred to me was: Compared to death. Death is way harder. I don’t want to die.
Then I thought: Wait a minute. Life is pretty damn hard.
Then again, I thought again: What if reincarnation is wrong? Then I will have an eternity to be dead. I’ll find out what happens to me after death—later. But I want to find out what happens to my life tomorrow, a year from now, 30 years from now—if for no other reason than curiosity. If I keep chugging along, what’s going to happen? I’m going to be dead one day anyway. What will happen if I keep going?—That’s right, life is pretty damn good sometimes too.
Hmmm—I thought yet another time (the mark of an artist)—maybe people just mean ‘Life is hard compared to how it used to be.’ Well, if that’s the case—already thinking like an uppish old man—I’ve got news for them. Life doesn’t get any easier. If you want to keep growing as a person, problems will only get bigger and stakes higher.
That’s reassuring—I chastised myself—coming from someone who wants to inspire people. But!—I rebutted myself (the mark of a schizophrenic)—life may not get any easier, but if you just accept that that’s how it’s going to be, you sure as hell feel better. Plus—I continued my argument—if you feel better, you’ll appear at ease to other people who will be amazed at your equanimity, making you feel even better.
A smile spread across my face and I bought a T-shirt of Bruce Lee as a deejay.

Life DOES get harder as you are growing up and getting maturer year by year. But that’s because there are different roles we have to play, and every time when you enter a new stage in your life you have a new role to play. It is hard to take more responsibilities. But it is also the fun part of life :)
It IS fun–sometimes ;)
