The Stressful Life to be born



If you ask the poor man before he was born, whether he should be born, he will say No!
Life will be full of pain,
Life will be full of hunger,
Life will be full of lack,
Life will be full of troubles,
And, life will be full of stress,
The stressful journey to live.

If you ask the rich man before he was born, whether he should be born, he will say Yes!
Life will be full of plenty,
Life will be full of pleasure,
Life will be full of Joy,
Life will be full of enjoyment,
Life will be full of celebration and,
Life will be full of friends.

The stressful Journey in life is without respect of the person;
Whether rich or poor, they both suffer losses.
Whether wise or dull, they are disappointed.
Whether fast or slow, they both fall into trouble.
Whether skilled or unskilled, they both fail the test.
Whether fat or slim, they both suffer hunger.
Death itself is not a respecter of a person. Both the rich and the poor die and live their properties to strangers.
Now, ask the rich and the poor, before they were born, if they want to be born, there will all say no.
The stress full Journey in life
