Destroying Castles

Hello every one, hope you all had a lovely and happy Sunday. Yesterday, I was going through and article by @Princessbusayo titled " Saturday sparks",where I came across a quote which really made alot of sense and gave me an idea of what my next article should be. She said and I quote;

" Be happy for others when they are doing great, because your own time will definitely would definitely come and you would be congratulated too".

When we were kids, during playtime at school or at home,we often play on sand dunes that has been set aside for some building construction . Well, we had a lot of fun playing with sand as kid as we would jump here and there and scream at the tip of our voices with hairs filled with sand particles. Our mothers would always have a tough time bathing us or washing our clothes, Lol.

Sometimes, the artistic children would engage in building beautiful castles on the fine and moist sand using their feet, empty cans and bottles as the perfect mould.

Looking back, I wondered whether biulding such castles was among the factors that influenced to a larger extend the creative genius of a lot of young adults today.

Out of envy and jealousy , a kid might come around from the side and stomp on a more beautiful castle of another child and destroy it. A fight might ensue between the two children and one could get hurt on the sands.

As I grew older. I tend to relate this childhood experience to everyday life. How many tines have we all witness beautiful friendship and relationship burnt down to the ground as a result of explosive anger , jealousy, insensitivity and thoughtlessness.

Sometimes, some of the people we have around us, people who we take as friends and relatives do not actually want the best for us. They discreetly try to pull you down when you are obviously a step or two ahead of them .

Trying to destroy the hard work and reputation of an individual who never saw you them as an enemy, to me is about the eighth wonder of the world and should be classified as the eighth deadly sin. The time and energy spent in engaging in such vile and comtemptible actions, if channelled into their own personal development will definitely be more gratifying and rewarding both in the long and short term.

As humans, we have come to live for each other and we should always love the good that has happened to our neighbor. Who knows, ours could happen the next minute.

I know there are some folks out there that find it hard to resist the temptation of ruining another person's joy. But its also important to bear in mind that, destroying someone else's castle (business, marriage, relationship etc) will never raise your own castle neither would it make it stronger. In most cases, one fails disgracefully in such an evil attempt and the whole world gets to know the kind of person he/she is.

The castle that he/she tried to pull down tends to continue grow stronger and more beautiful every other day. And the owner of the castle will always be mentioned as a shining star to others .

The malicious and bitter fellow would be the loser at last and no one would want to cooperate with such persons in building their own castles since they have already been known as poisoners of good will.
