Life is all a swim against the currents

My dad always used to tell me that life is a struggle no matter what the outcome is. We are humans and our base function is to try and move towards comforts beyond our present means. This is the struggle, a constant grinding struggle. Once you gain  your senses after coming to life, then its about scoring marks, or leaning some talents, then it is about putting these to use and getting a job, then getting money, then getting married, get a passport, a PAN card, a ration card, a voters card, a marriage certificate, a hospital card, a driving licence, an employer's certificate, gosh the list goes on an on, and then you have a child, get his birth certificate and help him till he gains his senses, and then you retire to wonder what exactly did you do in life? Well, if you did all that is mentioned above then you had a successful life coz you fulfilled your primary function of constant struggle and you are a human in retrospect.
 
But I just wonder once in a while, the struggle never changes from one man to the next to the millionth to the last. Should it not be that the struggle becomes easier over time and we start reaching for more achievements than just prove that I am ME a hundred times in fifty formats for 300 cards in the best part of my life?
 
Long live the struggle. (Pray someone knows why)
