Takjil War, THR War

For the first time, I have experience what it feels like to engage in a “war” to obtain takjil and THR firsthand. It turns out that this is what it feels like to navigate life without privilege—competing, striving, and maintaining focus to secure what one desires.

This experience was both unique and exhilarating. There was an undeniable rush of excitement, a surge of adrenaline, and, of course, a slight sense of embarrassment that had to be set aside. However, beyond these emotions, I learned something far more valuable: not everything has to be won. When I saw those in greater need, I chose to step back. To me, sharing and yielding to those who require it more is far more meaningful than merely emerging victorious in a "war."

This is not merely about takjil or THR; it is about gaining a deeper understanding of how life unfolds for many others—recognizing that not everyone has easy access to opportunities. And for that lesson, I am truly grateful.
