Why go the extra mile if everyone else is getting by with not even half of what you've put in?
Why give all your effort and time to a craft that others excel in with little to nothing close to passion?
Why strive for a better life when your family seems content in their struggle and addicted to the hustle of gaining to lose again?
Why continue to love even when you've been wronged time and time again?
Because the end.
Every moment matters and each is a contribution to something worth having.
A lesson worth learning.
It may seem pointless now, it may be easier to just give in.. but it's what happens in the end that means everything.
