All That Talking…

At times, we tend to forget the true meaning of sacrifice. What does sacrifice really means? For some of us, letting go of something for someone’s elses happiness is a great sacrifice. But does sacrificng too much at times make us the ultimate loser or someone that will be stepped on for the rest of our lives?

If making someone else smile makes us happy, will that smiley face put a smile on our face or tears in our eyes? Being nice to some people will only make you look as nothing more than an irritant. So what is the point of being patient and keeping our cool only to allow these people to make us their door mat?

We have to accept reality. Having to sacrifice patience at times is the only way to confirm that we will survive. Being dormant and making a fool of ourselves will only allow bigger fools to take control of our lives.

A volcano with a slow build-up of pressure will eventually erupt causing severe damages. Our emotions are the same too. We are just like a time-bomb that is waiting for the right time to explode. What happens when we are keeping anger in ourselves for just too long? A massive outburst that will be damaging for our nervous system? Think again….. what will happen if anger is suppressed for too long?

Words can create peace or war depending on situations we are in. What else could go wrong when you speak your opinion at the wrong time and wrong place? You end up getting yourself in a whole lot of trouble.

Biggest crime one can commit, is saying something without having any bad motive and someone else react to what we say in a negative manner.You will be sitting down alone and wonder what did you say that has offended this person so much to throw a harsh comment at you. That’s when you will realise that what you have said in the most casual and innocent manner is accepted by someone as something extremely offensive.

What can someone do in this situation? Best cure is always to apologise and remember the golden rule. “Shut up, mind your own business and speak only when you are spoken to.” This is an extremely useful mantra in forging good relationships with people.

 Of course this doesn’t mean that we can’t stand up for justice at the most critical moments in our life. We should take more precaution and test water before jumping into it and getting ourselves into a whole lot of trouble. A lesson that should be remembered for as long as I can. Hope I don’t get into the same problem again……. praying hard…….
