Life's Struggle

This article has been contributed by Sumana V. A nice article, that is worth appreciating, gives us the message that struggle is what gives excitement to life.

Every human being in his life undergoes struggle in some or other branch of fork. He strives hard to catch hold of right track of the fork. Few elders or teachers avert kids grazing their obstacle by spoon feeding...for eg, tutions for school going and nursery kids. This makes the children to quell their battle towards learning things and make things around easy and smooth. Instead, if parents or elders guide their kids, how to handle the things and suport to work about, would make life battle more meaningful and also kids will be well equipped and prepared for upcoming happenings. Tution and studies is just a mere example, I am giving. There are lot many thrills, up-down in life, which mould us better and strong. So, do grab and face the stroms coming in your life rather than throwing raves and rants or sit as though sky has fallen.
Following story sum's up why everyone has to face struggle in one's life. So, next time , if you are caught in the storm of life, do face it. Once strom is done, you can feel the great gusto and moulded thinking ready, to face new thrills and challenges, which makes life happier and successful. :)

The story:

A man found a cocoon of an emperor moth. He took it home so that he could watch the moth come out of the cocoon. On the day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to force the body through that little hole.

The moth seemed to be stuck and appeared to have stopped making progress. It seemed as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. The man, in his kindness, decided to help the moth; so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The moth then emerged easily. But its body was swollen and small, its wings wrinkled and shriveled.

The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to and able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life crawling around with a small, swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.

The man in his kindness and haste did not understand that the struggle required for the moth to get through the tiny opening was necessary to force fluid from the body of the moth into its wings so that it would be ready for flight upon achieving its freedom from the cocoon. Freedom and flight would only come after the struggle. By depriving the moth of a struggle, he deprived the moth of health.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to go through our life without any obstacles, we would be crippled. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for regrets, and don't forget the power in the struggle.
