Life comes with ups and downs. Everything in life brings positive and negative effects. Job, lifestyle, friends and acquaintances, hopes and dreams, life partner, parents and those darn relatives.. Every single one of these and other aspects in life is packaged with good and bad. I bet any random person will agree.
Most times we only amplify on the positive and ignore the negative altogether. Then we get mad and disappointed when they all come plummeting down on us. But in the beginning, didn’t we make an informed choice? What’s the point of getting angry and disappointed at something that you already know BUT (note this:) CHOSE TO IGNORE!!!! If somebody was to be blamed for another’s ignorance, really, there would be far too many lawsuits and court cases and there would only be police, lawyers and judges in this world and no other profession.
Just because stupid things happen, it’s no reason for us to be stupid and react stupidly, without any sense. Just because we chose to ignore the “thorns” amongst the beautiful bed of roses, doesn’t mean we can yell and demand for everything to suit our way. Whatever choice we make, we live with it. What’s the point of getting upset and harboring resentment to the point of no return, blaming every other human being, but yourself for your own stupidity. Sure, at times, we may hope to gain some measure of pity but for most times, it will never be granted.
Life is harsh but made so only by ourselves and our choices. How we choose to react and feel about something affects our quality of life, state of mind and physical wellbeing. But at those times that you feel neglected and overwhelmed with feelings that are unbearable, note that there are certain people who truly care and are always there for you when need time. For those who have the capability to make me smile again, thank you for your care.
