Sad Truths About Life: Our lives are filled with moments of joy, love, and discovery. It also harbors truths that, while hard to accept, are essential for our growth and understanding of the world. These truths, often sad, remind us of the complexities of human existence and the realities we have to face. There are truths we come across, and the only thing we can do is accept them. Being an adult comes with a lot of responsibilities and acceptance about how unfair life can sometimes be to us. Here’s a look at 20 Sad Truths About Life.

Here are list of Sad Truths About Life you have to accept when they happen to you as an adult.

1. If you think you just need intelligence to succeed, then this belief will make your life difficult because success only comes to those who also know how to digest failures, criticism, standing alone, painful times, lonely nights, long hours, and keep working even when there is a 1% chance of success. That is only achieved by one quality—resilience.
2. Companies expect 10 years of experience from you when hiring you (they completely forget they gave an ad for a fresh graduate), but when giving you a salary, they perfectly remember that you are a graduate.
3. Stop labeling yourself without even trying things. Because the thing you consider impossible will become possible once you try it.
4. Once you fail in maths — in grade 1, that doesn’t mean you’ll fail in maths again in the engineering exam. So, stop doing Over-Generalization, it will destroy your life.
5. Stop operating from victim mentality — that’s the real problem because once you believe that your effort or hard work wouldn’t change your situation. Then, no one can help you.
6. You often get depressed, when your friends or family not giving you the same importance, that you’re used to. You need to understand one thing, they are not devaluing you. They just have something more interesting in their lives, that takes their attention.
7. Stop playing the blame games and start taking the responsibility of your all-action whether it’s right or wrong. Always own every part of your life, because every experience (good or bad), weakness, strength, challenge helps you to make the person you’re today.
8. You don’t get slim by eating fast food, the same way you don’t get strong by just watching martial art training on TV. Strength either mentally or physically only comes from practice or more importantly by consistent practice.
9. As you throw rotten tomatoes from your refrigerator, the same way you should throw your rotten beliefs from your mind. Either it’s a tomato or beliefs, it becomes useless once it’s rotten.
10. People don’t respect you; they respect your money, power, and position. Once you lose those, you’ll lose respect too. If Rahul Gandhi wasn’t born into the Gandhi family (I’m not sure if that’s the correct term for his ancestry), then, forget about being the Prime Minister, would you even see him as a leader in your class?
11. You feel sad, depressed, and heartbroken, searching for answers to your misery. Trust me, no one else has the answers. You know them; you know your situation, but you’re afraid to acknowledge it. And that fear makes you even more depressed.
12. The person who is your best friend, boyfriend, or girlfriend. After 10 or 15 years, most of the time, they hold no value in your life. They remain alive in your memory, but you wouldn’t leave your world for them like you might want to do now.
13. You don’t lie, cheat, or do anything bad, and that’s good for you. But expecting the same from others might make you a fool. The world doesn’t always operate according to your principles; it often runs based on greed, profit, and opportunity.
14. If you’ve never experienced a heartbreak, you’re both lucky and unlucky simultaneously. Heartbreaks play a crucial role in shaping your personality. If you have positive traits, you’ll grow into a better person; however, if your negative traits overpower your goodness, you may become a toxic and bitter individual.
15. Everyone dies, including the person you love the most. One day, you’ll have to say an unwanted goodbye. No one can escape it, and neither can you. Perhaps, it’s the saddest truth of life.
16. Your sacrifices may hold no value in others’ lives as long as it affects them. If you think the other person will remember it until the last breath of their life, then you are mistaken. India helped Bangladesh to gain their freedom, and now they have “India Out” slogans in their streets.
17. You may think the other person is nice, caring, and loving, but a better judgment arises when they lose their cool or when they are alone. The true nature comes out when they are angry or in a position of power over someone else. One can simply examine someone by observing how they treat someone less fortunate.
18. I might be biased against one ideology, and so are you. People are willing to go to extremes, even killing each other, just to prove their point.
19. Your problems are solely yours. If you think sharing them with someone else will ease your pain, it won’t. Insensitive people may laugh behind your back, and sensitive people might offer advice and move on. Everyone is dealing with something in their life, and they often have no time for yours.
20. Your workplace is not God. Dedication and a strong work ethic are admirable, but if you don’t have time to spend with your parents, friends, or kids because of work, then you are doing it wrong. The moment you die, the company will observe a silence for 2 minutes, and then they will start looking for a replacement. Most of the time, your replacement is already prepared to take over in the company.
