Random Thought 121 - Giving Up

How will you ever succeed if at the first sign of hardship you want to give up already?

Perhaps, the easiest way out is by giving up.  With all the excuses one can ever think of, giving up would be the most convenient way of accepting defeat.  When the fight would just about to start or the moment we feel that our fight will be put to waste, we just want to walk away and give up.  I guess others are in no position to judge us the moment we will shy away from a difficult situation because they are not experiencing the kind of anguish, pain, torture, and stress that we happen to encounter.  And by giving up, we just hope and pray that we will be free likewise. 


It is good if by giving up and walking away, everything will become normal again.  It does not matter if we are going to start from the scratch again as long as we will no longer be haunted by the very struggling situation we got ourselves into.  But what if, despite of walking away and giving up, you will eventually lose everything including your life and freedom?

 The moment we are challenged by a particular situation, it is normal to experience fear and all sorts of discomforts.  When we experience these stuff, it only shows that we are human.  The moment we feel threatened, it is already a cause to alarm us especially if it involves our very existence, our life.  And the most critical part thereafter is how we can survive our day to day existence.

Giving up is the easiest way out.  But before giving up, make sure to explore all possibilities first in order to determine what your chances are.  Because choosing between giving up and fighting back, where you may lose everything, your only best option is to fight back.  And the moment you give up, you will be forever haunted by your act because until your very last breath, you will be asking the same question time and again.  What if I take the challenge and fight back?
