Speaking Hearts

When live serves pepper to your hungry stomach

Think of this

A man on his way to his job finds hi handicapped neighbor struggling to get his car start so that he can head to hospital. With his kind heart, he decides to help. Unfortunately, he forgets to tell his neighbor to carry along the PWD ID. So, on parking the car, it is towed by the police and a case is filed against him. His neighbor is not in any position to help.

The next day when he is supposed to report to court, on his way he meets this boy late for school because his bicycle has a problem. He decides to lend out his bicycle hence he is late for the court session. His case is moved to the next day 8am. The boy is not there to defend him. Nonetheless, no one believes it. It is just mere stories.

Reaching home, his rent has accumulated and now he has an eviction note on his door. His boss has flu and wants him report to work 9am next day. He tries to explain that he has a court hearing the next day 8am  but the boss tells him that he has two option; be at work by 9am or he is fired.

The next day he has to wake early to catch the bus. Unfortunately the bus crushed the previous day. He has no info of the same. He waits for the bus 30 minutes past the normal time only for a stranger to tell him what happened. He now has to run to the court. Arriving one minute past eight, the judge is not happy hence fines him $500. In addition, he is not allowed to defend himself over the case but instead it is ruled that he must pay a maximum fine of $1200  and additional charges of $300 making it $2000. He decides to run to his workplace and of course he is late but by a minute. His boss listens to him not. Instead, he is fired.

Some times life has served us the worst like this or even more worse. We wish we could have someone listen. But all that come to our lives, all they can do is point us on where we were wrong. They each try to show us how we deserved whatever we are going through. At times you feel like you never told them and thus when it hits you next, you decide to keep it to yourself. Slow by slow it starts eating you inside out. When asked if you are fine, with a faked smile you say, “sure, I am doing fine”. You go on listening to their tales of how they are going through somethings, which most of the time are but a tip of what you are going through. I know what it feels like to be there. Yes, I relate and even as I write this, I can feel your pain.

When life serves you the worst, what should you really do? Should you cry, tell someone or what should you do? Most will advice that get a trustable friend and share. I don't have the power to argue you out on that but I know to some of us, it has never worked that way. To some, yes it works. 

I have learnt to trust my story into writing them down. Some I have shared here and some I have always kept to myself nd God. By sharing I know someone will read. They will relate and may be if they see me still manage it through they get the psych to pull themselves together and forge forward.

Friend give it your best to a point when you are gone, when you have no control over it anymore, it will be said you tried to the best of your abilities. when you are no more available, your efforts will be noted. That is what I have learnt from humanity. Just give it your best. Minimize complains. hold no hatred on anyone even those who never helped you when you needed help. Repay evil with good and never forget the good that was done to you. Heal from any hatred that you may be having. Daily seek to create more room for goodness, love, kindness, humility and self sacrifice. Besides, how long do you think you have to live selfish? Be generous. Share the little you have. Have others' positive needs before you. If anyone acts selfish towards you, be more generous to them. It may feel and seem not logical but with time you will realize it will give you the peace you need. 

Let me not tire you with a lot of advice and motivation, but beloved, if there is beauty, it is found in living positive. As I always say, quě sěra sěra., whatever will be will be.

This is so encouraging plus reading that tale makes me feel like my issues are really less compared to his. Even though its a representation, at times we realize that even amidst our issues and troubles, someone needs our encouragement that even though you go through much someone will value the words you share as motivation and reminds me that pain is a door into the deep and someday it'll surely get better
