When we are born we are taken care of by people who are our family. And everything we do once we regain the consciousness presents us with a gate or obstacle before us. Its like video game obstacle, we play, we cross it and we get reward.
Think in this way that we cross each gate or obstacle, the nature or the society either punishes us or rewards us for crossing certain thresholds. Like when we stand on our own feet, nature teaches us how to balance, learn to walk with gravity and know how to stand and not fall.
There are also some punishments which are part of the social stereotypes and the norms. Where we try to solve some of the puzzles or riddles that bind us. And we are attacked by society to keep those imaginary limits there. And we are not supposed to mess with them.

No matter what you want to do in life, there is always a gate that your life has to cross. You want to be a graduate in university, you have to pass exams, demonstrate your knowledge etc. There is always some gate or exam or obstacle out there for you before you get satisfied.
Imagine there is no gate, and you want to achieve something without taking action. At first you may like freebie, then your body and mind becomes freeloader it would eventually hate your lack of inaction and then that would lead to not so satisfied life.
And that means your mind and body is craving for the obstacles and the limits to either stay in comfort zone or push it in order to achieve something and gain satisfaction.
There is always some gate before something good.
There is always some gate before satisfaction.
There is always some gate before the unknown.
Do you plan on venturing through the gate?
