Why Did I Chose The Difficult Path?

This one dialogue by Dr. Jug from the movie Dear Zindagi is echoing in my brain since almost three weeks:

"कभी-कभी हम मुश्किल रास्ता सिर्फ इस लिए चुनते हैं, क्यों हमें लगता है, important चीजें पाने के लिए हमें मुश्किल रास्ता अपनाना चाहिए। अपने आप को punish करना बहुत जरूरी है। लेकिन क्यों? आसान रास्ता क्यों नहीं चुन सकते? क्या बुराई है हम में?"

I was wondering about this,

On a trek;

I was wondering why did I chose to be in the mountains,

Walk miles on strech for days,

To experience a summit,

Then come back to some kinda chaos,

All over again,

Why couldn't I pick a beach instead?

Chill, relax and play in the ocean,

Eat great food and do nothing,

Why did I have to chose a difficult thing for myself?

And honestly,

Even after days,

I still don't have an answer,

Why did I go on that trek?

Why did I climb the summit?

Why did I decide to do a difficult something when I could have decided to an easy anything?

This question has come back to haunt me again today.
