Life and struggle are the two parts of a coin. Wherever struggle, there is life. Life requires a considerable amount of physical and mental effort; otherwise, it will collapse. Life and struggle are like an Object and Force. When both merges together, they create motion. Motion creates the sparkles, and sparkles are the fuel for living. Life will be just an inanimate thing if there are no struggles.
The Wheel is an expression of life and struggle. As long as this life exists, the wheel of life will continue to move on with the ups and downs. Friends will be met and separated during the journey. There will be happiness; there will be suffering. Sometimes you feel alone; sometimes, you are alone, even among friends. It is the ongoing process of gaining and losing, increasing and decreasing, coming and going, like day and night, light and shadow.
A person is born and born hunger - thirst, desire - dream, love-hate, and other similar elements. Then starts the real journey of life. It lasts as long as the body exists.
Let us understand our own lives and struggles through the sensory process.
