Why Does Life Become a Tragedy for Many?

Why Does Life Become a Tragedy for Many? the call of their own heart. It powerfully resonates with their own life. Hence, they think it is true. In contrast, if they listen to a happy song or read a comedy, deep inside they do not find it in consonance with their own life, and so, consciously or otherwise, they think it isn’t true. Why do people think this way? Why do they feel deprived and frustrated deep inside, even if they may be surrounded with material comforts? The reason for this is that, generally speaking, people make plans for their life without understanding the creation plan of God. And so, they hanker after such things—such as unsullied, permanent joy—that are, according to God’s creation plan, simply unattainable in this present world. This is the basic reason for their predicament. If they were to remain content just with what they need and not seek what is impossible for them to attain in this world, they could save themselves from this misery. If we want to live in line with God’s creation plan and be happy, we need to be content with only so much of the things of the world as we actually need. We must consider anything in excess of this as something that we might be able to get in the Hereafter. We should not waste our life in a quest to obtain the ideal in this world itself. This is the only secret for a peaceful and happy life.
