Life is similar, but people live quite dissimilarly. Is it natural?

Can I accept that it is a natural combination?

I begin to examine the scenario, starting from "I" to "we "and then "they.". 
At the minimum, I must have reasonable control over "I"; otherwise, it is ridiculous to hope for "good for us" and finally do anything for them (globally). Latter is the pinnacle of an individual’s life. 
Specifically, "we" symbolize society, where we grow and have an obligation to contribute something, at least to be among them when they need us. 
 
Here, I look at the process just to know what I can be—at least. 
 
Looking at the big picture, I can say I can be more than what I am today. 
My belief that things (inside me) are still unexplored is my weapon in this journey. 
My life has witnessed many twists like others on this earth, but in the end, it was fruitful in one way or another, I affirm. 
My strength is to evaluate myself to see whether I am better than yesterday on the benchmark of what I finished today. 
Evaluating anything in the long-range, say annually, is more meaningful, but it is a total of what is done on a day-to-day basis. 
Something good will happen without sincerity, but I know it is the rarest in the real world. 
It is true that in many areas, I fell short. I relate it to not using the right tool at the appropriate time to achieve effectiveness. 
But I am not carrying it as "regret, "but rather a "turn to learn.". 
 
 
Needs, wishes, priorities, limitations, uncertainties, obstacles, success, failures, highness, lowness, regrets, joyfulness, and many varying moments are the contours of life.

All of us taste all of the hues in the journey of life, indeed, in unequal promotions.

We are getting time, energy, responsibility, air, water, and eating materials—all with similarity. But we perform quite differently. 
The reality is that hardly a few know the demands of life as they age; the majority are slow to know even the basics of life, and among them, many are ignorant. 
Ignorant people initiate nothing, and so they end their stories as blank pages. 
They waste their time in comparisons and have no time in their whole lives to assess their abilities. 
 
Many are living a long life but leave nothing to count what they did, even in eight decades or around. 
Living life with waves matters the most, in the sense that vibrant people have explored things year after year and they have gifted "surprises" on a wider scale. 
 
Now I understand that "trying hard" in itself is a success. 
I have never put a brake on learning—learning from all that is happening, big or small. At times, I am not learning too. 
I am doing my best to unlearn the stuff blurring my vision to look forward. 
It is also a continuous process. 
I have shifted myself from being just busy to being just productive—that has helped me a lot as time moves on. 
I have diverted my attention from seeking praise to delivering what I can. 
I know the value of "discomfort "to achieve what seemed unachievable in the recent past. 
 
I question patterns, not to criticize but to outline pathways matching the pace of time.
That is why the focal point is "I "in all situations, then analyzing the impact on "we," and finally things seep to "they." by way of consequences. 
 
Dissimilarity is the attraction of all creatures on this planet, including people living in tribes or groups. 
It is a natural arrangement. 
Nevertheless, it does not mean to contribute nothing. 
Nature has given humans the power to alter things with a condition to make things shining, not destabilizing. 
Live and let other creatures live in harmony. 
Always start with "I" to assess what has been done so far and what can be done ahead.

Let it end with a narrative: "Life is a glorified gift for people who reach the stage of this understanding."
