Synopsis

The challenges we face in life whether it is to cope with supporting yourself or your family would always endure a sense of doubt. No one is sure about the consequences of their decision. The moment we experience a problem or a situation, we depend solely on our instincts to survive embarrassment.The character in the story embellished a sense of self-preservation in everything he had done. He deliberately refused the idea of failing, denying to himself what the consequences of dealing with the problem honestly would be.

The idea of the story is not to judge but to incorporate a sense of understanding on how we perceive our lives. We all make mistakes in our lives and we deal with them the best way we can.
