Why strive so hard?

People always advice us to do our best, try harder and things like that. Get the drill, right?

But why is it that when we obviously try our best in accomplishing something, there must be a party that is unsatisfied with the end result?

Sometimes, it makes me wonder if anything I do is right or not? Some guys would come up and say it's the best thing to do, some say it's not, some say it was my choice. So you're stuck in the middle of an oblivious situation and in the end you stumble across wrong decision making. How's that?

What if one tries so hard to get the best out himself? What if if he exceeded his limits and now he's just too tired to go on? It won't make any difference now won't it? The world or those around you won't be tired of bashing.

There are countless times that we face situations that requires us to make quick decisions/judgments that often leads to silly mistakes. And people will start blaming you, shutting your own "truth world" that doesn't have the chance to see broad daylight.

In the end, you leave all your good deeds to yourself and it keeps smiling, unless until someone comes and smack that smile out of your face by firing us for making stupid things. There's no time to enjoy the morning bliss.

There are times too when we try to correct people, especially our loved ones, just to show that we do care. We try to advice with pure innocent heart, without having any evil thoughts or plans. Though, it's often that we do it the wrong way. People will tell us that at least we did the right thing or the right choice or all that comforting words. But it's not that real really. Those are often protocols for "when a friend in need" situation. I'm not saying that I don't appreciate it, but it'll be more meaningful if appreciation from those we targeted is received by us. Sometimes, enough is enough.

Just a thought : Doesn't it baffle you that sometimes we feel we know others better than we know ourselves?

However, we always have a belief that we are able to help someone to better themselves. We will succeed, but ONCE we fail because of our wrong judgments, the fuse blows. Both parties, them and us, will be knocked down to the common ground we used to step on. Some will climb the ladders of egocity, because of our failed attempts, and that will cause them to crumble down to the same common ground again. Who do we blame for that? Is it because we didn't help or they didn't get the message? In the end, we often blame ourselves.

So whats the use of believing so much? Why try so hard and in the end we are just defeated by our own failure? Why can't I accept? Ask yourselves these questions as I often ask myself. And many times, the answers varies. There's no definite answer, especially when we are driven by emotions. But then again, ask yourselves, why let emotion take control?
