I am surprised by just how judgmental people can be, how they hastily come to conclusions about things, how self-centered they all are, how microscopic a view they have and just how sinister they can be. OK, fine. Granted, life has never been a bed of roses, neither is it an even playing field, so these things shouldn't be unheard of or even rare. But I just can help but be appalled at how juvenile it has become and for reasons I am too embarrassed to even mention, simply because they are just so so very INSIGNIFICANT. Because there are greater problems in life, in this Country and in this WORLD that we should be concerned about. If only they could see the big picture, they'd realise that life is simply not just all about them. These trivial matters deserve no attention at all, some aren't even directly related to them but why, why the big hooha and reactions? What irks me most is all the double crossing that goes behind it, how kind intentions are made evil by sinister thoughts. I mean, the world isn't the loveliest place, but there are people around who hold true to themselves, who uphold the values and morals of being truthfully tactful and sincerely concerned about others, so don't be snide about their kind intentions neither be cynical about them.
So, you may ask, what happened? Truth to be told, i wish i knew too. Things change, for better or for worse. The same holds true for people as well, just that sometimes, its too fast, too drastic and too much to handle. I've been in too many situations where people double cross, they back-stab and revolve around you with hypocrisy.
It is not the destruction of a relationship, nor the accusations that were hurled, much less the victimization of oneself to gain sympathy that affects me most. What affects me most is how hateful these people can be, the juvenile way they choose to handle these situations and above all that, what disgusts me most, is how blind they have become, how oblivious they have become to what's good for them.
Apart from that, you know what the most amusing part is? The irony in it all, is that these people can get together and make merry and call their relationship sincere. Seriously, it's akin to Stalin and Hitler becoming close friends (if ever they had a chance to). Well, all i can say, is that i simply wish them well and kudos to them, for finding "Simplicity" in complexity.
I'm not trying to make myself sound like the greatest person on earth, i never try to. All i can say, is when I'm nice to a person, I'm sincerely nice, even when the person may have done me wrong. I may be overly politically correct at times, but it's just because i respect you and believe you deserve to be treated with decency. But what i NEVER do, is that I never hate, cause one, It takes too much out of me to hate a person, two, I try to remember the good times and not the bad, and lastly, I forgive. That's why no matter how bad a person has treated me, I can still and will be, at the least, polite and kind towards him or her. It's only when I've totally given up trying, will i be just indifferent towards the person.
Bottom line is, don't hate, don't be hateful, cause there's so much to life that can be celebrated, so much to the world that is beautiful. Next time you pass a cynical comment about someone, think twice.
Devoid yourself of hate because hate voids.
Change
People change, from good to evil,
it's hard to tell, between Angel and Devil.
Angels don't have to appear with feathery wings,
Neither do Devils, as horny, thorny things.
The simplest things can be a Blessing,
But evil thoughts result in their bashing.
The world may change,
Just like the climate and the stock exchange.
Some things we can never be in control of,
But others we can be, with no extra cost.
We can choose to see the darkest days,
or the glimmer of bright shining rays.
No matter what the change,
Remember, try to see the beauty that still remains.
