For me, I believe we all have our different paths to take in life, and you can never be able to walk the same path as everyone. And no matter how similar things look on the surface, there is always something deep and uniquely different within us that separates us from one another in this jouney called life.
While we can somehow be on the same path, that doesn't mean we will always move at the same pace. Some people have fast muscle switch, while some are slow paced.
There is a lot to consider in a life of a man when it comes to his journey in life as there are times when all people see is laziness, weakness and stagnation due to how the situation looks on the surface.
However, the reason you might not be walking fast might be because you have something holding you down deep within. It could be pain, anxiety, or something else that is unseen by others.
This is why I find it challenging to blame anyone for anything because as much as we want to accept the philosophy of owning up to your actions and taking responsibility, you don't really have much choice in certain situations and decisions.
Nevertheless, to be able to accept the situation and move on, it is necessary to take the whole thing and chest it all like a champ. Everything might not be your fault, but everything is also your fault as its better to put the blame on you instead of blaming something or someone else for your misfortune.
Personally, I've fought many battles raging from family issues to friendships to the societal ones and all I could say is that I'm still going to be on the path that leads to freedom because that is the only road I see to make all the pain and suffering worth it.
How I've survived until now is something unbelievable if you ask me, but then I won’t want to bug you too much but the oath we all take as a man is unique and doesn't have to be the same with anyone else and even if its does look like it, it's never going to be the same nor will it bring you the same joy as when you stick to your path? So why do it in the first place. Better to walk alone than walk among the crowd with everyone looking like replicas.
Taking a different path is lonely sometimes, but it will be worth it in the end.
