Such is life....

Yes, bad things happen to good people. Merciless pitiful things that no one deserves in life. Such is life. it gives you pain but also gives you joys in equal measure...that's just life. Somewhere in a small rural town s a grandmother taking care of her grandkids because their parents died from the usual culprit that is A.I.Ds or worse still, were murdered by the Mungiki. Such is life. You cannot understand why things work the way they do.Somewhere is a jobless pregnant girl abandoned by people she thought loved her unconditionally. Now she has to understand that life can be a cold hard place and grow up fast enough to be a good mother to her baby, or at least die trying. Such is life.Elsewhere is a young man who has gone through education by a stroke of luck that is his poor scraping mother who sold vegetables and scraped by all means for money to send her son to school. Now the boy is at home distressed because Kenya doesn't have many job openings at the moment? What do you tell the boy's mother when she questions God? What do you tell the poor grandmother when she cries out at night from the terror of losing her kids and the gnawing hunger having given up her food to here grand kids? How do you make the poor girl understand that life still goes on when she can't see beyond her predicament? Well, such is life.
You have it better than most, people die from hunger everyday, others from exploding oil tankers. Yes, poverty is a great motivator to do the insane. I still think you have it better than most. If you can walk, talk, sleep in a warm bed, you have it better than most. If you can afford even one meal in a day, fret not, you have it better than most.
Who will you blame when your life comes to an end without accomplishing your desires and want? you will have no one to blame but yourself. So you say there are no jobs nowadays? well, get that creative idea from your head, or at least get one. make a business plan and search for an investor. believe in your idea so bad that others believe in it enough to invest their money in it .  Don't give up until you make someone believe in it. you got an education don't let it go to waste. If you do, who will help the poor without an education? who will help those who really need help? Because truth be told, life gives you back what you plant into it. Be WISE. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.We are all in this struggle together ( Remember i got a list of things i want before am 30). Just trust in God, get off your ass, believe in yourself and work harder.
