Taking Out These Envies
Sometimes we'll just need to deal with it by ourselves, since we can't control the outside response then we can very much control the inside, there is a way we feel, feel about something, feel about someone and we can't stop seeing them because they've become a part of our regular path, how then do we ensure a smooth journey, a good ride ahead and not going back and forth, I guess the solutions lies in our wanting to deal with it, however when we don't see anything worth addressing then we won't table the issue, so I guess self acceptance comes first, knowing this thing bothers me, then I can bring it in and start working on it.
I currently live in a society where you have to hide your blessings. If you have been lucky to acquire a possession, you better advice yourself and keep it to your self, maybe when the excitment is getting too much, you can tell a trusted few, however overtime the trusted few have appeared not trusted at all. So I call everyone to come Celebrate with me and automatically I'm calling for my doom, is that how it ought to be. Everyone is smiling but deep down they are angry, what nonsense is that. Whatever and whomever is influencing the minds of the people to such great extent of envy had better stop. The people needs to be aware that there is absolutely no gain in envy.
I'm not denying the fact that we want what some friends have, in fact trying so hard to lie to yourself about denying that fact is part of the problems that won't solve anything. Yes, they have it and we don't and we really desire it, so what do we do is what makes the difference. Why not open up and stay good, rather than conceal and hurt through the backdoor. If at all it's a possession they aren't willing to let go of, they could either tell you the process of getting yours, or allow you opportunity to use it when needed. Sometimes friends are stingy and you feel justified to snatch away, but that doesn't stop you from being wrong. Stay good, a huge reward lies in that.
I got to see a real caught on camera footage, where two friends were out for a drink, the manner at which they came in should have let us know they were pretty close and was coming to have more fun time. Few minutes into their chat and drinking, one excused the other to use the rest room and while he was gone the other had seized the opportunity to poison his friends drink. Yes, I said it, poison the drink of his friends drink. The innocent friend came in, hoping to continue with the ongoing discussion and laughter and took up his drink to sip. That's when he was stopped by someone strange, who witness the full action of how his friend had poison his drink.
Now there is a crowd of people coming to the rescue, if you know you didn't poison his drink like you claim, then you drink it. Of course not, he couldn't drink it and was begging. He sure was beaten, I guess arrested, that's if the police could be quick to the rescue. All this makes me wonder, who can be trusted, what's it that we need to do to know that one true person who wouldn't hurt us. The world's envy is too much, its rampant in your country as well as mine already, I really don't know how we got here, but it sure isn't a nice place to be, we need a change. We need to be enlightened that there is no gain.
A major source of envy I've seen is that of desiring a person. Truthfully it hurts more, you trying so hard to get a person for yourself and they are only interested in your close friend. The mere thought of that is already heartbreaking, but what is your reaction to it all. What do you do to that feeling, when you're hurt real bad and feeling jealous your friend is getting that person your heart craves for and you seem to be irrelevant, can you bear to stay strong and refuse to hate, huh, can you refuse to hate. I strong mind indeed, a tough time no doubt, the pain is crazy but hey hang on, that's not where your joy lies.
So many things can give you joy, but what joy can you get when you have someone who doesn't truly care for you. I really want someone who loves me so much, in fact someone who would place me first before any other person, can I get it? Yes. Then I ask myself that question, whenever I see a situation like that, are you that person, or is there someone who you already have placed on high regards, if yes, I lay low quietly. No joy in stealing that which doesn't want you in the first place. And I know that's the best way to get peace, getting someone who chooses you too. Yes, we ask for the relationship, but we sure need her to love us back, we need the heart to recieve us too. We shouldn't be fighting for her love every day. What isn't meant to be yours, just isn't yours, don't steal it.
Keep calm world, don't kill yourself trying to steal and snatch off your friend, it's a deception, it doesn't offer the joy you think it would. It would only lead to an action you are soon to regret, stay strong, it's a phase soon to leave. Plus need I remind you it helps in preserving your own too. Like it or not, it doesn't matter how little you have, there is someone envious of you too, that wants what you have, someone who probably loves your partner more than you, but what's going to help you preserve yours better, is that assurance that God is fighting for you, cause you didn't snatch another. Don't let envy lead you to hate, it's a natural feeling no doubt, but you can deal with it, groom your mind.
Keep calm everyone, its definitely going to be alright, hang on to hope while we remain good.
What the world is feeding us , on how we suppose to live our life made us adhere to social standards rather on our own. That it's ok to be interested with someone committed as long as we are happy, do it all to reach your dreams no matter what it costs , that if you have loads of money you'll be the happiest. Saddening how we forgot what we really are in the process. Forgetting the values and what is right just to have such what they call a" happy life".
