Is this all what life has to offer?

Have you ever looked at your life through a microscope and noticed that no matter what you do it seems that it’s never enough. The older you become the more you are aware that the doors of possibilities are narrowing in front of you, and leaving you with the feeling that opportunities have passed you by.  From the time you are born, you are confined to the laws of society.  Following the norms is such an exhausting ordeal for any child.  You are programmed to follow a normal pattern of responsibilities and expectations. Your formative years consist of your being forced to go to school and to learn a multitude of knowledge just to have the basic tools to survive the competitive world we live in.  To top it all, you are expected to have a prestigious career in order to live a happy comfortable life.  Society dictates that the life you should aspire to create for yourself involves having a decent paying job, family which includes being married with kids, and a house in the suburb with a white picket fences. Unfortunately, many are faced with the reality that they will never achieve the perfect life.  Even for those who have accomplished the so called Ideal life would look back in their lives and question if they truly lived genuine happy lives. Were their lives designed by their own decisions, or molded base on what society expects of them?

Have you ever asked yourself if this is all what life has to offer?  Many turn to religion to have a since of hope that even if the present life results in disappointments, despair, and broken dreams, that the after life could bring ultimate peace and happiness. Some search for happiness now through spiritually but the struggle is an endless battle, going through the motion everyday trying to achieve happiness.

For some, however, can’t handle the struggles of life, as a result they would give up and end their miserable life. 

The question is if number 10 is considered to be a perfect life, what grade would you give your life? What changes are you planning to make to achieve your perfect life?
