Struggle or die

I've heart this quote repeatedly over several occasions & in different arrangement of words that, you got to move on.

Is accepting things, a part of moving on? I don't know but it appears like it.
"Let go the struggle,
Don't fight,
Accept the way things are,
Be happy with whatever it is."

What if these lines are preached to a ongoing rape victim, or someone who's getting kidnapped, or a guy appearing for some crucial exam. I don't think so.

Imagine a scene, a painter is creating his master piece. Now pick one thing or person out of this scene, dead or alive, The painter, his brush, the colours, or the masterpiece itself. Which one did you choose? Remember the thing you pick is you.

If you choose the masterpiece,
Congratulations, you're a magnificent picture.
But what's next for you? Even The Mona Lisa is just hung at Louvre museum. Nonchalant, immobile & pretty much dead.

If you choose the brush or the paint,
It would be a good choice, & Maybe you have a slight more lifespan the painting itself. But the same question goes for you this time, what's next for you? Trash would be the right destination in most of the cases unless the Painter is maniac.

How about being a little more creative in selecting & choosing the stool on which painter sits while painting? Well in terms of lifespan the stool could outrun everyone, but what fate do we have for it? The stool has to face and kiss the warm behind of the painter forever. No promotions, not being your own boss( who am i kidding, you seen, a stool sitting on a person?).

If you want to live the longest you would have chosen the stool but how does it defines you? You'll do what you're born for, what you're told to, and as long as you serve your master by being a comfort for their ass, you live. The day you raise a Nail being a rebel to the authority, you'll be terminated for violence.

The first choice comes the last here, the obvious, and the most alive of all of them,
The painter.
There is hope, possibility, optimism of setting new records. No one will ever tell a painter to accept things the way they are, specially not their manager after the painter tastes success. Yes there would be a long chain of  camaraderie, people coaxing them to say a few words, girls wanting to taste some of the famous ink, yet it won't last, unless there's more to offer.

If you think about it, every non-living choice you made had that docile quality about them. The painter otherwise, had struggle. Only 1% of painters in the world are recognised today, rest of them are graphics designer. ( Pun intended).
We've progressed a lot from our caveman predecessors. They had a low mortality, struggled everyday for food & shelter. For them it was struggle or die. Bingo, exactly that's how it should be right now. Struggle or die. Accepting the circumstances means you're dead or will die sooner or later.

In life, if you're not seeing enough struggle, you're not going anywhere. Take me for an example, i lost the most precious contact i had with another human, & no Matter how much i try, how many dead contacts i dial again, i wouldn't find that one person without whom life is not so much the way it was earlier. But will it stop me? It's trying but nay, i won't give in, I'll be out there, keeping my pride. Searching for new possibilities, settings new records, because that's the whole point of living.
