"why are we always trying so hard?" my eyes shift towards my mother, and i say "when we are going to die anyways."   "beti," says my mother as she walks up to me and sits next to me holding me in her arms, she continues "it's because most of the time we're striving so hard isn't for ourselves, it's for the people we love."
