Life as it is β Poem
Tourney is not life, so
Journey for the adventures.
Hurdles which we face,
Wiggle not more for the race.
Tear the false face and
Gear to enjoy life's pace.
Never is it too late, so
Shower in life's gate.

When faced with God's choice - wealth with a miserable, brief life or a longer, content life without riches - the majority succumb to desires, opting for wealth, believing it can buy happiness and prolong life through advanced medicine.
Nevertheless, a discerning minority, the truly wise, opt for contentment, recognizing that genuine happiness thrives independently of wealth when one is genuinely content with life.
The predicament of today's generation is their inclination toward choosing wealth, acknowledging life's brevity and the inevitability of death. However, the truly wise comprehend that life's journey is fraught with challenges, akin to a ship navigating tumultuous ocean waves. A ship that doesn't brave the waters ceases to be a ship at all.
Likewise, a life devoid of hurdles is not a life worth living, for it's through challenges that we discover our true strength and purpose.
Those who constantly crave wealth and power may find themselves spiritually unfulfilled, even when they have more than enough material comforts.

Stranger (Poem) - Lost in the Unseen World.
Who is he, sitting alone and lost in thought,
Wandering all around, with no one in sight,
No shelter, no food, yet he stands tall,
Wearing clothes I've never seen before.
Every afternoon, I see him searching for food,
I wonder, was he born into this life,
Or was he made to be this way?
But surely, he must have been well before.
Many passed him by without notice,
But when I stopped to look at him,
It might have made him see me as a stranger,
But who are the real strangers here?
Mad, they call him, but who are the truly mad ones?

Resonance of Purpose: A man's Journey to Rediscover Value - A Short Story
In the quiet corners of his thoughts, Mark, an introverted thinker, stood at a crossroads that tested the very essence of his convictions. The notion of leaving his college education behind tugged at his mind like a persistent whisper. As an introvert who often found solace in contemplation, he retreated into the recesses of his mind to unravel the complexities of his decision.
Mark had consistently outpaced his peers in college, his insatiable thirst for knowledge propelling him beyond the boundaries of conventional learning. However, the courses in his current academic path left him unfulfilled, failing to quench his intellectual curiosity. The value he had hoped to derive seemed elusive, and he grappled with the idea of continuing down a path that no longer resonated.
For days, Mark embarked on a journey of self-reflection. He immersed himself in the world of his thoughts, retracing the steps that had brought him to this pivotal moment. The memories of his insatiable desire for understanding intertwined with the frustration of his present circumstances, casting shadows of doubt.
Amidst the tapestry of his contemplation, a realization began to emerge. Mark recognized that his distinction from his peers wasn't solely derived from the content of his courses. It was the dedication, discipline, and work ethic he had cultivated over time that set him apart. The challenges he faced in college served as a crucible, forging in him the determination and resilience he valued so deeply.
With this epiphany, Mark's perspective shifted. He acknowledged that the true value of his education extended beyond the classroom. The opportunity to lead, to inspire, and to refine his own character was a privilege that went beyond the mere accumulation of knowledge. It was a chance to mold himself into someone capable of navigating life's complexities with grace and tenacity.
Armed with this newfound insight, Mark resolved not to quit. He understood that his journey was about more than just academicsβit was a canvas on which he could paint the portrait of his potential. He chose to infuse purpose into his educational path, leveraging his unique position as an outlier to elevate the discourse around him.
And so, with a heart fortified by resolve and a mind guided by introspection, Mark embraced the challenges that lay ahead. He understood that the depth of his learning wasn't solely defined by the coursework, but by his own ability to glean wisdom from the world around him. As he navigated his college education, he did so with the understanding that the journey was an intricate dance between personal growth and the intrinsic value that comes from carving one's own path.

Penned a decade ago, in the midst of a ponderous Mathematics class that seemed to lag behind my understanding, this story draws from the tapestry of my personal experiences.
Though it remained dormant and unpublished for years, today it sees the light of day.
Your constructive insights would be invaluable, not only in refining this work but also in fuelling the inspiration to craft more.
Thanks
