LIFE: A RAT-RACE

'Rat-race' what does that mean for human beings? What does this actually convey? This means that life is a whole circle of different phases in which we are busy competing to achieve more and more , actually a little more than everybody else has.
Now, you may think that yes you have experienced this, you have also been a part of this circle. But wait, this is not true. You have not been in this for a bit of life. Instead, the reality is that our whole life is a continuous rat-race composed of different levels.
Still not convinced? Let me make you remember, when we compare two little babies on the basis of their crawling ability.
Like see this baby started crawling in 7 months and the other took a year to learn.
And in this one of them wins this particular rat race.
After this we start competing with our classmates for grades. We start to put an extra effort to achieve more than others.
Yes yes, all this is a part of the rat-race, we spend our whole life on.
In our early adulthood, we get trapped in a rat race of getting better jobs, choosing best profession and being on the top. After this, we start competing for a better lifestyle, a lifestyle for which everyone craves for. We always have a desire to win a lifestyle for which everyone is trying hard for. In this particular rat race, we spend some of the very beautiful years of our life.
I have recently heard from a very renowned person, that in this phase of life, various problems arises because "People with 40k salary, want to show the world their lifestyle of 1 lakh salary".
After this we get focused on having a family and to be a well known person in the society. In this phase, we are in a rat race of providing best living to the family and fulfilling their every needs and wants.

Now comes the turn of a responsible rat-race, where we have a bunch of responsibilities to make our children settle. 

This is the less heard truth of life. We are a part of this race every single time of our life even without knowing this. We crave for more, work for more ,achieve it but we are still not satisfied because the "End point of one rat race is the starting point of other rat race".In this journey, we forget to enjoy the little achievements of life and slowly and gradually we come to the ending point of the last rat race and realise that how deeply we were a part of all this.
