I don't do anything in my life

life

Written by: Asmaa Khalil

A close friend of mine invited me to have a cup of coffee with her, while I was busy, but I did not delay in responding to her and accepting her invitation, as I had not seen her for a few years. Both of us were busy with our studies and then our academic and professional lives, and the only thing that brought us together again was the means of communication. At the social meeting, we set the date for the meeting and I actually went.
It was a day full of joy, adorned with the sun's rays streaming down to the earth. I decided to walk until I reached her house, as I love exercising.

I had decided to go and visit her during my break from work.
Joy filled my face and my friend’s face when we saw each other, and the dear woman welcomed me, and we began to talk and recall the childhood memories that brought us together, and while she was preparing coffee, I was stopped by the sight of her house, which calls for inactivity and laziness, with its dreary painted walls and mostly black furniture, and so did she, as She gained a lot of weight and became obese.

My friend put the coffee on and we continued the conversation. She asked me what I do in my life, so I mentioned to her that I am now thirty years old, but I obtained a doctorate in accounting, got married, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. I own a project that generates me a large amount of money, and I also manage it myself. I love exercising every day. One day, I wake up early, plus I wrote a book in my field, and more and more.

My friend was looking at me with amazement, so I also took the initiative to ask her while she finished speaking, and I quickly said: What are you doing with your life, my dear? Then she surprised me by saying: “Nothing!” How I was amazed, how nothing!
Then she explained to me how she obtained an inheritance from her mother. Her mother had no children other than her. Her mother died a few years ago and she wrote everything she owned in that daughter’s name.

I said to my friend: Is that a reason not to work, learn, or run in this life?! A person does not feel comfortable until he realizes fatigue.

It was an invitation to contemplate. While some people do not find time in their day to do everything, there are those who feel bored and do not do anything. This is the strange paradox between the two types of people who live this life. Each group looks at the other in disapproval and perhaps astonishment, and wonders... How does that person follow these example and these behaviors?!

It is the same number of hours that a day and every day contains, but its impact is completely different on each soul. There are those who need dozens of hours to accomplish everything they set out to do... and there are those who want the day to pass by due to their intense boredom as if it were an hour! It is time... time... and the extent of its passing in the souls of people. It may leave a deep impact on some people and leave a legacy that is passed down through the generations, and it may pass unnoticed by others!

This difference depends on the extent of understanding what life means to every person in the world... Life is an opportunity to work... to achieve... to enjoy success... to prepare with full equipment to leave... to think... to meditate... to plant a garden... to light a candle that illuminates a path... to remove harm. From the people's path...to do good to the mother...to visit a sick person...to learn something new...while there are those for whom life means just a piece of paper with a result hung on the wall, and they cut a piece of paper from it every day; It will do nothing more than tear dreams apart, create illusions, kill ambition, scatter hopes...

This is the difference between an hour and an hour.. If you build one brick every day, then over the course of a year; You will have a fully-fledged home... if you write a few words every day; After a year, you will have a book that will benefit the world. If you work hard for an hour, you will rest for hours, and if you kill an hour, all the hours will kill you.

Those who only know the hour of nothing, do not care about anything... people who are killed by boredom with a sharp instrument, instead of confronting it and withstanding it... by doing everything... you see them holding their phones all day long, moving from channel to channel, while the “YouTuber” is just a person. Najeh was able to work hard by creating content that makes you sit and watch it without feeling bored. He is a successful person who knew how to manage his time.

While someone is heading to a café to eliminate the monotony of life, a drink is offered to him by a smiling person who does not know how to fulfill all his needs that day, because he works a lot and never gets bored.

And when the years pass, your friends will meet you everywhere, perhaps in the hospital and one of them is a doctor, or in a gym. One of them learned and trained until he achieved his goals and you see him as a coach.

One of them will meet you and he has opened an apiary to produce and sell honey, and in life you will see another making honey. The most delicious food is in a restaurant I own and you are just a guest there, and there is someone who takes your collar size to tailor a shirt for you in the small clothing factory in which he put his dreams.....


And you...are you still complaining of boredom...it is not a mental illness...nor is it possessed by a demon...it is the work of a human being...who does not know of the clock indicators except the zero hour, so how can work be done without hours!?


Whoever does not know the value of a watch and complains of the monotony of time will remain stuck at zero hour throughout his life.
