Imagine.
One fine morning, you get up from bed,  freshen up and go for a walk. You start walking on a straight road. The grey cemented road, smooth as silk.
Every step you place is kept straight ahead. The road is too comfortable to walk on.
You place your right foot ahead, then left, then right, then left and so on. You continue walking.
The best part is, there's no traffic, no throng, not even a single fly to disturb your inner peace.
Even the road on which you're walking is flawless, no pits, no turns which could possibly confuse you. You just have to walk and reach your destination, almost effortlessly.
That's what everyone wants in life too, isn't it? A life without obstacles.
That's what all of us wish for. Right?
Yes! We do.
Because we don't think it through.
We want a life similar to this walk.
But if we imagine going on a walk and we are just walking and walking and walking without turning anywhere and without any hindrance.
Wouldn't it be boring? Yes!
Did we learn anything? No!
Was it meaningful? Not at all!
At one point we would be bored out of our mind and wish to quit.
Living a life without all the obstacles is not worth spending so many damn years on the planet.
Contradiction is what we need most of the times to keep us going.
If there were no rain, there would be no umbrellas to protect us from it. And because of rain, we know the function of umbrella and we use it to protect us from sunlight also in excessive warm weather.
Rain, here is the contradiction, umbrella is the result of our learning. Because of learning, we made it's use better by using it for different weathers like rain, for which it was made, but summer as well.
So... We better start living, start having wonderful and meaningful walks.
We are here to learn. Life is going to end either way, whether you do something meaningful or not.
We learn through the obstacles in our way.

I have never in my life learned anything from any man who has agreed with me.

Criticism is very important and useful if we accept that in a positive manner.
