Life - An Essay by: Mark Richard Strenko

My defination of the word life is - "a confusing endeavor forced upon you at birth".
Nothing confuses me more than life it's self, it seems to be an endless drama and with every step you take adds a new plot to the storyline of complexity. A spider web of mixed emotion, drama, chaos, pressures, fears, hates, loves, and what makes you strive for happiness. Everyone in one way or another all they want in life is to be happy. A feat near impossible unless you either have a lot of close friends, money, or a loving family.
It's been proven that all of the "crazy" people in the world the ones that lash out and commit crimes such as murder, animal abuse, and other abuse related catastrophes have been sparked from a type of lack of social acceptance at a younger age or a poor home life. Life in this world is judged by an enormous popularity contest think of it this way... When a child is entering elementary school in as low as 3rd - 5th grade the simpliest things will upset you. If one of your peers calls you a "poopy head" or something as silly as your shirt is dumb would make you bust into tears.
If such abuse continues one of a few things could happen. This person could become socially inept unable to fit in with any group of people for fear of being made fun of, they could reach their "boiling point" and lash out on everyone whether it be fist fights to as bad as murder. Even almost as bad if not worse some people will fall as low to to start taking random drugs to make themselves look cool or to "take away the pain" - which can also lead to suicidal tendencies. If the world were to lower their socially acceptable standards the world would be a much happier place, more people would get along and less petty fights would have ever started.
All anyone in truely wants is happiness think about it, if your not happy your miserable. Life is hard mainly because of the economy, i'm not saying there is anything wrong with how our currency systems are run, but you need money for many things. You need money to eat, sleep, survive, have fun, protect, and most importantly live. With this in mind it's best to try to find a career or path of interest that you won't be unsatisified with in the long run. If you choose to be a police officer go through all the training then hate the work conditions, you can find yourself back at square one. If your going to start your life in a direction make sure it's the right one, pick something that will make you happy and strive for it.
Life continues to make me ponder each and every day about so many things... For example, my life it seems everytime I consider myself happy without any compliants everythings going exactly the way I would want it to, something goes terribly wrong. I go out of my way to make everyone happy to be as nice as I possibly can and it seems in life the nice guy always gets screwed over no matter what kind of situation they find themselves in. Whenever your own family doesn't even seem to take anything you say seriously, treat you like you're forever a premature child, and ignore everything you say that you feel is important it's hard to have a happy life.
Perhaps.. it's the people who are treated the worst at the start are the happiest in the end. The people who fight through the pain to find happiness without lashing out on the world that has condemned them to a life of solitude, maybe it is true the ends justifys the means. After finding a way from their personal demons, learn from their experiences, give true words of advice from the heart and try to lead others towards the light of their dreams. It pains me to see good people stray away from their path i've seen many of my own good friends turn their lives to the worst possible conditions. Some of the nicest and most intelligent people have started doing drugs and stop caring about life entirely, something i would never wish on anyone is to throw away their hopes and dreams.
