The Mystic Ranger

When was the last time you were delighted to get some­thing you were ‘sup­posed’ to? For instance, how many of us would actu­ally delight in receiv­ing break­fast? Not me!

What we do not strug­gle for, we take as granted — the most fun­da­men­tal exam­ple being our own exis­tence. Rarely would one find some­body so con­sci­en­tious, he actu­ally val­ued the mere pres­ence of him­self. Why? — because one did not have to strug­gle to be born.

Very unex­pect­edly, we attribute more value to some­thing of such neces­sity, we any­ways get it. Air to breathe, water to drink, are some more instances of exis­tences hav­ing incal­cu­la­ble , and equally unper­ceived value as well.

Hence, we only value what we strug­gle for. As is again notice­able — how many mem­o­rable sto­ries would we have read — of love, achieve­ment, suc­cess, any­thing! — that did not involve a strug­gle, an effort? And that was the only fac­tor which gave it the value it attained.

One would not mea­sure the height of the fruit on the tree by a meter scale from the sea level — but by how hard one had to jump; or care­fully one had to throw a stone, to get it!
