When I sit to meditate on the lives of people in today's generation, I get to understand that there are two (2) kinds of people.

1. Those who are comfortable and contented with what they have and their position in life. This kind of people are often happy about life and hardly would see them complain and nag about their position in life.
2. Those people who always believe that life is not balanced and it's not treating them well. They complain about everything. They believe they should have been better than this or that person, they are never comfortable or contented with their life. Most of the time, they compare their self with people above their class. They can be naggy over everything.

From the categories of people listed above, the people who are contented and comfortable with what life offers them are the people who are loving life because nothing takes away their happiness. On the other hand, those who nag, complain, and find life as not balanced because they believe life is not treating them well are the set of people who are living life. They're just alive but not comfortable with it.

How do you live your days following living or loving life? Describe.

This question reminds me of a song that was sang by one of the Nigerian artists (Kizz Daniel). The title of the song is "Rich Till I Die" In his lyrics he says " I love the life that I have, and I love the life that I live. Tomorrow is not certain but I will be rich till I die".

That song spoke my mind. Although I'm not rich, I appreciate the life that I have and I love the way I live it. I got to understand that we all have one (1) life to live and life is short to live in a boring way. As such, I chose to stop complaining and comparing myself to those above me. Although I strive daily to be better and to achieve greater heights in life, I don't take it as do-or-die affairs.

I try as much as possible to enjoy the little I have even as I strive to get better. I put my mind in a neutral state and not to be intimidated by other people's success because that's the reason some people always complain and nag that life is not balanced. With the little I have, I buy good food, clothes, pay my rent and medical bills, go to places to have fun, and forget the worries of life. That's how I live. For me this life is short and I got to enjoy my days on earth before I join my ancestors.

Which one must we follow among the two and why?

In life, there are basic necessary things that we need to understand. And there:

1. We all can not be equal.
2. Life is not always rosy.
3. We can not always get what want.
4. Appreciate the little you have now.
5. Don't compare yourself with anyone.
6. In as much as you want to be better, try to enjoy the little you have now.

Lack of this understanding has put many people in a state of depression, sorrow, and bitterness. Why do we have a large number of people with high blood pressure today? It's because they allow their self to pass through much stress and other things that affect their emotions.

To have a better life, we have to choose to love the life we have and live it with contentment. After this life, we don't have another one to live. So it's better to enjoy it by accepting things that we can not change. That's my take on the question.

I now call on @sahmie, @bossj23, @josepha, and @simonnwigwe to participate.
