Hello lovely readers friends and sponsors of @Read.Cash, hope you are all good.

I woke up early today with the zeal to go do more than what have planned, which in His grace I was able to.

A lovely evening to you my sponsors, I love you both😍.

You've probably heard that where your own madness ends another person's own begins, well that's true. You'd think you are crazy only for you to meet someone else and realize yours is still an embryo 😂😂.. that's how it is truly.

Never underestimate your opponent or over look how young,old, short or tall they are. The thought on , he's already old I can handle him should be zeroed.

If you've seen the movie Don't breath , you'd know more on what I'm talking about. The thieves who went to steal from an old house which was owned by a blind man were killed and only one of them was able to get out if I'm not mistaken. They underestimated their opponent. Thought his blindness will give them more chance to escape apart from his old age which is well known that every old person has a feeble bone compared to that of a young boy.

In some cases, you'd be proven wrong. When you think yourself as a superior towards something you've gotten and think no one can get it from you so you feel relaxed, that's the moment your opponent may use against you and you'd wonder how that came to be.

Some years back when I still had little time to watch wrestle, Undertaker who haven't be defeated before came to meet his doom to an unexpected opponent.

That's to remind you never to underestimate anyone.

The person you think has nothing may have even more than you think.

During my days in school, I once met with a guy who was in my department on my way to the Cafe to print out some document with two friends of mine.

I don't know him much but one of my friend did know him well so she called him over and we all exchange pleasantries.

When he asked where we were headed we told him to the Cafe though we'd be going to the canteen to get food later. He said he was going to the same place as ours so we began the journey through.

The other friend of mine who also knew little about the guy like I do whispered to me that we shouldn't let someone like that move with us because of how he was dressed.

Well I never minded because I don't judge people by what they wear because I do dress in a funny way sometimes too. 😂😂

You'd want to know what he was putting on right?.

Well he was on a trouser that was faded combined with a bathroom slippers.

You know the white and blue slippers right?. Yes that was what he had on.

When she noticed I didn't listen to her, she excused herself from us and left.

The thing is that,we don't really have much on us and was going to the Cafe first to see how much our work done was gonna cost to know if we'd even be visiting the cafeteria at all.

My other friend who was more familiar with the guy gave me a sign asking why she left but I just waved her off.

To cut the long take short.

The guy paid not only for our printing but also took us to the cafeteria and bought us food to eat there and take home with drinks attached to it.

I was surprised, so I called him and told him he shouldn't get us much that we were okay and would share one but he Insisted we eat differently and went his way after paying without even waiting for us to fully thank him.

Our friend who left us later came to us and when she saw us with things, she asked who got it for us and if the person hasn't gone far so she can ask him to get hers too.

When we told her it was the guy, she never believed and laughed it off saying..that guy?.. you mean the one with bathroom slippers and dirty Jean??😂😂.

She underestimated him and did realize we weren't joking and was bitter she left when she could have just bear his presence like she said.

Never underestimate anyone!

Not even your brother or the woman you get food from.

You don't know if they have connections or know someone who knows the person that's connected.

What prompted me to write on this.

Well i heard a guy who was fighting hard with another guy because of an argument, stop fighting when he heard the guy just came out from jail because he killed someone. The guy became calm and couldn't rant out like he did anymore.

The guy who just came out of prison looked so innocent and harmless you'd think he couldn't hurt a fly.

If the guy wasn't told of what the guy had done,he could have lost his life too just because he underestimated his stance and look.

Truly where your madness ends, begins another's. Don't think you are the only crazy being and you can do things normal people can't.

If you see the length some will go to get things done, then you'd realize you are still learning and probably in creche.

That friend of yours who you think can't help out could turn out to be your only hope to get what will change your life permanently.

The person you've given your all to and your sure won't hurt you might do it in a span of seconds without even blinking , just like that.

There was also a guy I knew, though not really much, got a job in a big industry through an old woman who sells bean cake at his junction.

The woman had people who patronize her a lot including affluent people. She knew of the guys predicament then because he told her when she asked and didn't shun her. When the woman heard the man talking on his phone to his secretary to reschedule some meetings , she told the man of the guy who she told the man was her son.

The guy is married now with beautiful kids and living a good life, though he never forgot the woman.

So why should you underestimate them?

Why would you think you don't need them?

When I was asked by @Princessbusayo why I ignored the man on my article https://read.cash/@Balikis/a-snail-for-a-bus-cb4661ca I told her it was because he wasn't worth my time.

I might say I know people and call them because I won't waste my strength in any physical fight with someone. But do I know if he knows people too?

At the end of the day I'll probably waste my time on something that won't give me fund😊.

Which I'd rather not engage in. Though he was a bit older and all, I still ignored him after using a threatening voice on him because I'd rather not underestimate him.

Learn not to overlook and be cautious and always remember, where your madness ends begins another's!

Thanks for the usual tips comments and love. I appreciate you all including my sponsors for their support.

Thanks for reading and stay safe.
