Seesaw

Life is like walking on the seesaw.


You always have to walk from bottom to top. You take one step, and the next will become more difficult.



You walk to higher place, and you will feel hard to balance.


When you think you walk higher and higher, actually you start to go downhill.



Accordingly, you find you can’t stand on the higher place in your eyes forever.



Struggling back and forth so many times, you realize standing on higher place is so difficult because you can’t keep your balance all the time.



Finally, one day you realize that you keep your balance in your journey, and it is the high place where you stand.



If you want to stand on the higher place, there is another way. That’s somebody supports you on the lower place of the seesaw. Maybe those people are your family, lover or enemies who are loser.




In our journey, most of them want to walk to the higher place because we think it means we succeed. We fail again and again because we don’t realize the ideas of seesaw. It makes me think of the former president. He wants to stand at higher place, but he forgets what happens next. When I undergo more events, success or not is not important in my mind. I find out when a person grows up, he/ she will become unhappier because his/her desires are more, and you have to be responsible for many duties even though you don’t want to take. So far I don’t want to look for the higher place. I just want to be happier than before.

oh, what inspiring illustrations. i like your point of view and indeed between you, me and everybody, we have walking on the seesaw in our entire life and the most important is being balanced. I am impressed by this saying, "If you want to stand on the higher place, there is another way. That’s somebody supports you on the lower place of the seesaw." Always some unsung people who you easily ignored but they are significant helpers support you and make you succeed.
