Things that are far from us, beyond our reach,

are often admired by us

like a fantasy that seems unrealistic or almost magical.

But the moment we finally attain them, they no longer hold the same value they once did.

Suppose there is a person who is physically and mentally fit, has all the luxuries one could possibly imagine and is enjoying life to the fullest. But one day, he gets into an accident that completely changes his life. His health is severely affected and he becomes unable to walk. Suddenly, he realizes the true value of something as simple as walking. He can no longer do things on his own, take care of his personal needs or even help himself without depending on someone else.

And then he turns to Allah. He prays day and night, asking Him to relieve him of his suffering. He keeps praying every second, hoping that one day his prayers will be answered. But sometimes, a point comes in life when it is no longer possible to regain what has been lost.

That is when a person realizes the value of the blessings they once took for granted.

Translation: “Then suddenly… an existential crisis.”

Questioning existence.

Questioning its purpose.

The “Who am I?” question.

And knowingly putting ourselves into situations that cause problems for us, even though we could have simply lived, adapted, and focused on the things that could make our lives more meaningful.

But we humans are never truly satisfied with any situation. Our desires can never be completely fulfilled and even when they are we still somehow struggle to be happy.

Suppose there is a child who is rich and has all the luxuries one could possibly think of. Everything is just a step away. They only have to ask and their wishes are fulfilled. But they have constant differences with their family. They can't talk to their parents the way they should because their parents are abusive and never treat them the way they deserve to be treated.

That child feels alone and longs for a family that actually feels like a family; where there is love, care, warmth and even arguments, because what family doesn't have disagreements? Just not the kind that can shatter a person.

Now imagine another child who doesn't have those luxuries. They may not even have a proper home or a roof over their head, but they have a good and healthy relationship with their parents. They love and care for one another, and there is happiness within their family.

In one situation, the first child longs for a loving and understanding family, while the second child longs for enough money to simply live a decent life.

We can't say that one of them is living the perfect life. Both are facing problems; problems that may be unseen by the other person or may not even be considered a problem by them. But that doesn't make those struggles any less real.

Everyone has their own battles, even when we can't see them.

So, live your life to the fullest. Appreciate what you have, because somewhere, someone might be dreaming of the life you're living.

(Yes yes I know again but it's the last time).
