Our Struggles Are Different

We are not paying the same bills, not buying the same pills because our struggles are different. Our levels of spending are not the same, our standards of living are not the same because our struggles are different.

10 years ago my father lost his job and it was hard to understand why.We became broke as hell. We used to be part of the best students but things started falling apart. Initially I used to blame my academically poor friends that they don't learn, later did I realize they are not the ones to be blamed but rather their struggles.

In Africa, most poor families struggle to control their kids to learn. Parents are struggling to put food on the table not to think of spending on their kids education. Education is not the priority of most poor African homes. If a kid from such a home is not performing well in school, you should understand that his background and struggles have an impact on their education. Most kids usually goes to sell in the market early in the morning before they are given something small for school.

I understood this perfectly clear when I started getting sacked from school because I owed fees and this affected me academically. We all have different struggles that we are facing. Our struggles eat us up or affects us negatively or positively. Its like hustling. Most people have tough skin because of the struggles they have been through.

It looks as if only poor people are the ones with struggles but that's not the case.Even the rich have their own struggles. Do you think Bill Gate has nothing to worry about? or Jeff Bezos has nothing to think of? Though these people are rich and society will say they have nothing to worry about but that's not the case. If Bill Gates got nothing to worry about at least he is going through a lot of struggles to let Microsoft survive. His struggles are different from that of the poor. Not even the poor to be precise but every individual has his/her own struggle.

The poor needs money to get over their struggles and the rich with all their money might be going through struggles that they dont need money to solve it. The poor may have financial problem and might be going through all sort of struggles. The rich on the other side may be going through their own struggles. One may be rich and will be having marital issues. staying rich alone is a hell of a struggle for the rich .

We all in this world have our own struggles and our struggles are different
