孟子说:故天将降大任于是人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空乏其身，行拂乱其所为，所以动心忍性，曾益其所不能。
Really? Or is that meant to comfort and encourage people?
According to Meng Zi, all these I'm experiencing now are trials and tribulations, to test my determination and passion, and to fully prepare myself for the tough road that lies ahead.
I want to choose to believe. But it's getting really hard. I am trying all paths within my means, but fate seems determined to put mountains in my way. Is God trying to tell me that this isn't meant for me? If I say that, is it because I believe God has a pre-determined path for me, or is it because I choose to tell myself to give up?
Someone told me that this is just an obstacle in life. Everyone will meet theirs at some point in time, just that mine came earlier. So the fruits of my labour will taste sweeter. Really? Then when will my test end?
Everytime I try to pick myself up and go on, everytime something attempts to defeat me. So what's next? I have chosen the hard way out, walked so far down this path. And ended up with nothing. There's a hundred and one cross roads in front of me, but none seems to lead to where I want to go. I know life is not as sweet as I'd like it to be. I'm only 19, will I exhaust my lifetime energy fighting this war?
I cannot sit around and wait for miracles to happen. Close my eyes and pick a random path to take?
