Keep five and take five!

It's in our very nature, time and season that we have seen a lot of so many abnormalities of different types people display everyday of our lives. Most lives and properties have been lost and destroyed, relationships and friendships torn apart and as well as families.

Out of selfish desires and gain most people have allowed themselves to be taken away by greed and envy, instead of taking what supposed to be your own share in any transaction you may have had with your partner, instead you start to have personal greed to take all and allow the other person to go empty handed. Most failed business transactions today and most fights and even killings of business partners we hear about in recent times are as a result of this particular factor. This has made a lot of people not to have business trust with their partner, a situation where the person you are having a business deal is having secret  plans and ulterior motive to swindle you of all your fund you were supposed to get if you eventually share your profit with him when the business transactions pulls through.

In love relationships and other types of relationships we see today, couples who have loved themselves and shared beautiful moments for a long period of time as a couple may wake up one day and start having lots of disagreements, misunderstanding and quarrels which have led to breakups and divorce in their lives because they failed to tolerate, overlook some certain issues and accept each other the way they are. In a condition where your spouse is not perfect and because he or she is a bit measurable with few of the qualities you expect of him/her to posses through her facial beauty/ handsomeness, knowledge and body physic but on the other hand lacks good manner and character, instead of you to have a healthy and an understanding playground for discussion to accept yourselves, work on yourselves and build yourself together, rather you begin to use each other's lose ends to attack each other and cause yourselves pains and heartbreaks. Do you need to be reminded that you too are not perfect beings and should learn to tolerate each other's flaws? Why not keep five and take five?

To that simple and good friendships you have with that person around you, your colleagues at the office, your schoolmate, classmate, choir members, your group members maybe in clubs or even in your worship centers or meetings, how do you react to them when it comes to tolerance? Do you see yourself as the most important person that need to be respected and worshipped? Or do you see everybody as same with one goal to achieve in that group or place you find yourself? Why you see some failed groups, friendship rapour between two persons or more today is because people have failed to realise that everyone that comes across you in your daily life is not as perfect as God and must have one human character error or even more which makes him or her a human, and by so doing you should always learn to live and see that next person beside you as an imperfect being.

Having a balanced mindset and understanding when dealing with your colleagues, friends and folks is just the perfect answer to a wonderful friendship. The beauty of a long lasting friendship with your folks, friends and colleagues can be enhanced when you keep five and take five.

Finally, how well do we appreciate and thank God for his benevolence in our lives? Don't you know you have to learn to appreciate him that always find you worthy to always stay alive in the land of the living? Do you need to eat his own glory after all that he has done for you?  It's not out of place to always show gratitude to God for his kindness towards you, a prayer of thanksgiving is enough to make him do more for you. The same goes to that person that always do his or her best to always put smile on your face each time you call for assistance, always show gratitude to him or her and learn to stay in this word;  "Keep five and take five"

Thank you so much for your time, Rafd9828🙏
