Rantings yet again

♥It has been a long time, I've decided I need to rant some issues within me. Firstly, I gave up seeing my world in your eyes. It seems like you didn't see yours in mine. It is a pity but things would have not been any better should it dragged and stayed on. So let us be mature adults and leave it there and that. Adequate explanations and answers have been given on my part, I am fine if you could not give me yours. Let's not make things worse then it needs to be. Blessings to you no matter what endeavours you undertake in the future. Secondly, I think there is a need for certain people to realise that RESPECT does not comes with the title, position that you hold with. It is to be earned. It doesn't matter if you're the manager, the commander or even a parent, respect still needs to be earned. Parents can't just think that they should be respected just because they are parents, but you need to earned it. If so happen you are the fud up shit kind of parent, trust me, you will never ever have the respect even if you demand, especially, when the child has grown up to be an adult, able to distiguish from right and wrong, you are so not getting any. Demanding it doesn't help the situation either, it just turns people off even further then it needs to. Come to think of it, parents may have even scolded about each other and how lousy the other person is to the child. It is not advisable because of this picture I saw on facebook, and frankly, it makes so much sense, that I feel some people just can't understand such simple stuff. I am personally going through that phase and I can tell you, things are worse then it needs to be. We must learn to forgive and we need to realise that pride isn't going to do us any good. Pride can't earn you money, Pride cannot feed you and Pride of course isn't going to help you in a legal divorce case. Humility on the other hand will help so much more. We need to learn how to swallow our own pride, learn how to say sorry, and saying sorry doesn't even meant that you are wrong, it can simply meant that you value the relationship more then your pride. Prideful man will fall, and it always does. These are such simple life values that some people cannot understand, or rather put into action. NATO (No Action Talk Only), happens to someone whom I know very well, one who can articulate that one should live life in a certain manner but when you look at that person, they are not even practicing it in the tiniest fair bit, and assume they are doing great. Over estimation of one's ability is also being prideful, remember, if you can do something good, someone can probably do it better. We all have our own limits, just that some people limits are slightly higher then us, thats all. What is it to be so shameful about it ? I once was a very prideful person, probably inherited since I'm dealing with the person I inherited from, but I was glad that I met a bunch of good people whom I have to say, shame me, humiliate me with proper reasons and taught me what it is to eat the humble pie, think for others and what humility and servanthood leadership is. Sadly, some people who are already in their 60s can't comprehend that and I don't expect them to understand either. Sometime, it is not the most complicated of task or anything to be done or understood, but the simplest that is what is difficult. Slow down our footsteps, take a look and ask ourself, have we done the best we could for others? If not, how can we do even better? Learn to love life, learn to change with what life taught you and not reject it with all sorts of reasons. A famous person said this and I shall end with that. An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. - Mohandas Gandhi
