Life Is Struggle - Achieving Goal

A man named Bhushan was living his life with many difficulties and problems. The reason for this was the way he thought. He felt that human life was filled with hardships and that numerous problems made human life sorrowful. To Bhushan, the life of animals seemed more enjoyable compared to human life. He believed that animals did not have as many problems as humans did. However, humans are constantly troubled by worries. He thought that these worries never end.
One day, while Bhushan was walking along the road, he collided with a man who was walking quickly. The stranger angrily said, "Can't you see? You are barging in like a mad bull." To this, Bhushan replied, "It would have been good if I were an animal as you said. But unfortunately, due to my bad luck, I was born a human. What can I do?" Hearing Bhushan's words, the man's anger subsided. He said, "Oh sir, it's rare to get a human birth. And here you are saying that it would have been better if you were born an animal. Bhushan replied have you ever seen an animal deceive or be unjust to another animal? Have you ever seen an animal worried about its past or future? Given this, how can human life be considered fortunate? Animal life is indeed superior and much better. We are lesser than animals."
