What is this life really all about? What is the point of living? Etc. These are questions the majority of us have had to ask ourselves.
While some get to find answers and meaning to this life, some still haven’t found answers but are living through it anyway.
Life in itself is a bitter-sweet symphony and as a coping mechanism to life’s twist and turns we all mostly just turn a blind eye to the bad, bitter side of life.
But whether we like it or not at some point or the other we will all have to face that ugly side of life.
Here are 10 ugly truths about life;
1. How you look matters a lot. It has its one place even though we keep denying it all the time, but an attractive person has an upper hand over a not-so-attractive person most of the time.
2. You can never attain perfection. Many people are worried and disturbed by their need to be perfect, which mostly always leads to unhappiness. It is okay to believe that striving for perfection is useful to us because it motivates us to be productive but it at the same time rob us of the little pleasures life has to offer, remember this nobody is devoid of flaws.
3. Hard work and dedication aren’t always enough. Sometimes you just need that little ounce of luck and favor.
4. Sometimes the adage “Treat others the way you would like to be treated” doesn’t always work out like that. People don’t always return the same reciprocation and respect you give them.
5. Nobody totally has everything figured out, people can appear to be but the fact remains that we are all just trying to figure things out as we go.
6. We live in a hurting world and no matter how hard we try suffering and hurt can never really go away, so while it is certainly worth trying to make things better, no individual’s work will take away the pain and suffering people experience around the world.
7. There is no real success without failure. We just have to admit it, we will fail from time to time, after all, life is all about failing some and winning some. The most important part of failing is that we learn from our mistakes and do better next time.
8. Nothing outside of you can give you the happiness you truly deserve or desire.
9. You can not change people’s character, minds,s or opinions on things. People only change of their own accord.
10. We all at some point are all going to die. No one is going to live forever, whether you want to or are ready to, death is a must for every being, and it is high time we started to accept the reality of death.
