As you walk down the entangled and unnamed roads of life, mindlessly taking turns and detours to reach a destination still unknown to your mind, you sometimes become overwhelmed by the emotion of hopelessness and futility. Everyone believes they are on this earth for one purpose or another. Whether your belief is rooted in religion or not, you still believe in something. But feeling hopeless is a natural feeling that we humans possess. We, as a common race, will often find ourselves falling through the cracks opened by our society, frantically attempting to climb out, but finding it much easier to continue the descent than it is to fight the shame that pulls you down. Few people ever realize it, but such a personal downfall can be reversed by a little faith and confidence. Things may not be going your way, your situation may be so horrendous that it's beyond anyone's comprehension, but it is the weak who will bathe in the liquid putridness of self-hate and emotional dismemberment. The strong will face each situation as a new challenge and confront the beast that holds them back from attaining a happiness they once possessed, but cannot have no longer. In truth, it is not possible to re attain the same happiness when it has been lost due to an undesirable negative force. But it is possible to believe you can, and that's faith.
Life does not treat all beings fairly and equally. By nature, some will falter and lag behind, while others evolve, improve, and continue forward. There is no good reason why you should be held at a higher regard as someone else. We are all one race, we were all born equal. But from the moment of your birth, it is your duty to become a stronger being and surpass the abilities of those around you. Along this journey, you will find that there are certain aspects of yourself which may be inferior to others, but you will always find something you are skilled at. This search, in itself, compromises the belief that life is futile. Of course, you'd have to believe in this theory to believe in the statement. This may seem as an excuse to say that life isn't futile. Those cynical at heart will laugh at the absurdity of such a claim and say we are all placed on this planet to be doomed, but I believe life isn't futile.
