Life Is Not a Bed of Roses

Since the day we are born,we begin to depend on other people.we depend on them for food and clothing, for safety and understanding,for friendship and love.None of us could live without other people.Even when we are alone,other people stilltouch our lives.

First of all,think about your food and clothes.Do you grow your own food and make your own clothes?No!Other People provide us either directly or indirectly with the food we eat and clothes we wear.As a child,you depend on your parents for your food and clothes.You are too young to make them for yourself.When you grow up,you still depend on other people for them.At school,for instance,you depend on the school canteen for the food, and you depend on the shop for your clothes.Some farmers may grow their own food,but they still depend on other people for other foods and drinks.And when you are able to earn your own bread,you depend on other people for other things,as there are always things you can make by yourself.

Secondly,we depend on other people for safety and understanding.Nobody in the world can avoid diseases or danger.Nobody can be happy if other people do not understand them.At a time,when you are feeling under the weather, you seem to depend more on other people.If there’s nobody taking care of you, you may feel lonely and depressed.Even if you are as fit as a fiddle,you may be in danger.And then,you need other people to help you to get out of the danger.When you are in trouble,other people become more important to you.They may help to free you from the trouble.If luck is on your side and you feel safe and sound,you may depend on other people for understanding.And if your family members and friends can’t understand you, you may be on edge and feel sad and lonely.

Thirdly,you also depend on other people for friendship and love.As a human being,you want to get on with other people. You want to be on good terms with them.And you want them to show concern for your wellbeing.You don’t want to be left in the cold,of course.And when you are coming of ages, you begin to need love. You need love from your family members;you need love from your relatives and friends; you need love from your peers or coworkers.And most importantly,you need to love someone of the opposite sex who will love you.You know how happy you are when you are in love,and you know how sad you are when nobody is interested in you.Indeed,love is a great thing.But it can make you as happy as a king or as sad as death. You may have a broken heart if are given the air by the one you are already head over heels in love with.
After all,life is not always a bed of roses. You may be caught short and may live from hand to mouth. You may fall ill all of a sudden and lie in bed. You may be in hot water or have difficulties in your work. You may be taken for granted and nobody cares you. You may be misunderstood or even wronged by other people.And if you have no one to turn to for a heart to heart talk, you may be driven crazy.But are there ways to avoid all that?Yes,there are.One of the ways for you to avoid trouble is:do not give the things to other people if yourself do not like them;and give the things to other people first before you hope to get the things you like.All in all,you can’t find love without loving other people first.
