be not influenced...

Some people walks here on earth with their eyes blindfolded. They could not see the beauty of the world. They could not recognize the magnificent beauty of every swaying trees, of the chirping birds, of the cool breeze that caress their cheeks. These same people could not just see the goodness of someone. They love to complain about everything. They love to murmur. It seems though that everything for them is an irritant, like a stingy thinner solution. They could not accept the capabilities of everyone.  For them, there is no such thing as strength. They love to grumble. To downgrade people is their habit of interest. All they can see are miseries and that’s why misery sticks to their life. These pessimistic people love to blame others of their misfortune. Oftentimes they pass crucial judgments with no known valid reasons. They could not appreciate life’s adversaries, or the very life itself. Everything for them is stingy. And these same people can never embrace trials and sufferings in life. They could never see the bright side of every poverty. They could not see the success beyond every failure. Who would like to live with these breed of people? Who would like to be with this people? Nothing is delightful to their eyes.  And when you come across with these obnoxious people, certainly your life will be profoundly altered if unguarded. Perhaps your first hour of the day will be doomed already. 

breaks all walls of division

Why do people afraid to love? It’s so easy to love a mutual friend. But to love a stranger, it already entails difficulty. To love a snatcher, already poses some difficulty. To forgive a killer who killed massacred your husband, your only son is another story. To love an obnoxious co-employee who always obstructs your promotion is another story. We often reason out that it is a foolishness to love the unlovable. We are afraid to appear ridiculous to the eyes of the skeptics that’s why we can never love a traitor. We would reason out, “Why should I love him? He cheated on me many times. . Why should I love him? He betrayed my trust.” And there goes all the alibis of not loving a person.  We then grumble, “Why should I love that bastard? That **** wasted all my earning and squandered my saving to all his illicit affairs.”  So see how we immediately sin when we are angry. Instead of forgiving we rather commit sin by name callings. Instead of accepting apology we philosophized that it is illogical to love an erring person.  It is easier to love people at a distant than to love this seemingly unruly person whom we rub elbows with. It’s so easy to love people who are thousand miles away than to love people whom we dine with in the table. Sometimes too, we set criteria before loving a person.


 People are afraid to love because they think they might be rejected.  People are afraid to love because the love they give might not be reciprocated. And because of the responsibility it implies in loving, a person will never dare to love. You can not love without giving. You can not love without serving. You can not love without sacrificing your time.  When you love, you have to offer everything, even your life. You can not say you love that person if you are not willing to forgive him. You’re a bogus person if you say “I love you, but I can not forgive you”.  The funny thing about human is that, after hearing an advice, we sarcastically counters “well, that’s God! And I am not like Him to forgive that easy. So, it’s my prerogative to forgive or not to forgive.”   See, how fickle minded sometimes we could be. Ever heard someone saying, “He deserves it! It is his own fault anyway.” Then at the end we hear somebody says “serves her right!”
