The ugly truth: Life is short. Death is the final destiny of life. No one can escape it. Everybody comes into this world for a certain period. So try to be happy and enjoy every moment of the day in the life with morals and ethics, with the resource or facility what you have, destroy your ego, don't compare with others. The day or moment what you passed that can't be retried at any cost. Your life battery is in the decaying pattern. Nothing you bring when you came into this world and nothing you will take with you when you will leave this world. After your departure, even your parents/ children/loved-one will forget you after a while. So many great people came to this world and flourished.... How many of them you remember from time to time ....? It is a matter of time. So don't be worried/stressed in any circumstance of life.
