It's the same thing

It's the same thing,

be the situations or physical reality,

if we take it as a blessing,

something to be grateful of,

it will bring us joy & bliss,

and if taken as a curse,

brings us pain or disadvantages, 

becomes reason for our sufferings.

It's the same thing,

an inseparable part of our life,

we can embrace, or resist,

also remain neutral, of its existence, 

as an individual, or part of a group,

having concerns & apprehensions, 

still, we should never insult or deride,

something that existed for centuries. 

It's the same thing,

we have seen successful stories,

so, it's detrimental to empathize, 

only the failures and negatives, 

for, deep down, we have realized,

it's our own interests & perspective,

stemmed from fears or insecurities, 

solutions lies not outside, but within.

We can't change nature or tendencies, 

but awareness brings a quiet tenacity,

helping us navigate life's challenges, 

while growing, with joyful heart.
