Here are some random thoughts that came to mind that
I would like to share with you.
I have noticed that kind persons
are considered such when they treat people and love them more than
they deserve. Remember the kind grandmother who constantly forgives
the grandson who keeps on disrespecting her. He does not deserve her
love and affection but she gives it anyway.
The same is true of God who loves
us a whole lot more than we deserve. We keep playing games with Him
and He continues to love us and be kind to us.
We need to learn to take the
initiative to heal because the world does not stop for a broken
heart. People find it difficult to handle another person’s pain.
They recoil from listening to deep sorrow. They would rather talk
about happy things. This is why movies that do not have happy
endings do not do well. We like happy endings because we find it
hard to deal with the pain of others.
We need to be careful about those
people who thrive on bad-rapping others and speaking ill of them. If
we are not wary of them, they soon get us to do the same. Remember
that he who is in the mud loves to pull others in. If misery loves
company, so to do those who make it a profession to speak ill of
others. They should be avoided like the plague because sooner or
later you too will become a victim of their sharp tongues.
An important lesson to learn is
that family and relatives are not always what you expect them to be.
You might think that blood commands respect and love. It often does,
but it just as often does not. Who does not have a family member or
a relative who has betrayed a trust? It hurts more when a blood
relative is unloving because we expect loyalty, respect and
preferential treatment when it comes to family. Sadly, it is often a
family member who is most hurting.
Consequently, you need to
understand that blood does not think. Nor is blood loyal and true.
Bonding and character are what matters, not blood.
On a lighter note, somebody said
that the best revenge is to live long enough to be a problem to your
children. Some parents become so bitter in their old age that they
seem to revel in being a problem to their adult kids. They lord it
over them and insist on being respected and honored when their
behavior is not respectable or honorable.
