Get in the ring
Not because you want to,
but because you have to
Not because it’s easy,
but because it’s necessary
And not because you like taking risks,
but because you understand that
you can’t live your best life
without them

Hi,
A very nice quote, Murlidhar! Indeed, it is the poetic expression of the logic of living for - to me - life is not a noun but a verb; hence I've used the word 'living' instead of 'life'. We don't know where we came from. From the unknown cosmos? From the five elements known to us? From the conjuring tricks of the invisible conjuror, if any? - we don't know any precise answer both to the origin and the end as well. That is why Osho classified the phenomenon of knowledge into three - the known, the unknown, and the unknowable! Adi Shankara termed the unknowable as "Maya". Anyway, Yes, the ring of life is unknowable though we are already in it. Sometimes in everyone's bout, the opponent is invisible in the ring, and that's why there happens fighting within our own selves - no rule of exception whether you are a philosopher or just a simpleton. Indulgence in philosophical quest is the impact of the atavistic urge in us to decipher the unknowable. The author of the verse has effectively given the essence of living into a tiny capsule, wrapping up with a beautiful poetic cover and hence deserves heartiest appreciation. Thank you, Murli!!

We, especially those without a rich and loving parent, or with strangely good luck, are already within such a ring. We do not need to enter it; we are born inside it. Willing or unwilling, the only option is to accept it! And get beaten, bruised, dragged, cheated, humiliated, wasted, or lose. As we grow in age, we come to know more about it and become more used to it. With a thousand sighs or a thousand secret oaths, we mostly fail to escape to betterment.
We know how the boxer feels and so can relate. That's why we feel elated, excited when he wins or when he falls! This life, with its rock-hard cruelty, is a "boxing ring" itself!
