"Only God knows how he struggled to get that uniform. The protocols he had to meet before recruitment, the stress, the struggles just to get this job, little did he know it was going to lead to his death😭. Sometimes we have to accept every condition life throws at us and be at peace with ourselves. You have no idea that the car, marriage, traveling, job etc, that you're dying to have will be what will lead to your untimely death. Let us be content with life 😭😭😭."
