I would like to consider myself as an observer; I observe people’s behaviour and certain things. I marvel at how we operate, how we respond, interact with people and in different situations. All this truly reflects the chaos within us or the beauty that is within us.
Have you ever read the comments on any celebrity or someone who is doing well for themselves’ post? Oh! My heart aches when I read the horrible comments that are filled with so much hatred for a person they don’t know; not for the celebrity, but for the person who writes it because it truly reflects the chaos, bitterness and anger they are carrying around. The first thing that always comes to mind for me is, “who hurt you so badly?”. Now, this is for every single person that finds joy in hurting others and trying to bring others down, God bless your heart!
Has social media given us so much power, by allowing us to have a bigger platform, that it gives us an illusion that we can destroy people’s lives? Social media bullying is real and people have and are committing suicide because of it. Not everyone is born with tough skin.
Is there no other way to voice our opinions without hurting the person we are addressing it to? When did we stop being considerate? When did we stop being our brother’s and sister’s keeper?
I finally and recently had a chance to watch War Room (It’s a must-watch I promise you) and it opened my eyes to so many things but what truly spoke to me was: ‘The ‘person’ is not the enemy; we are fighting the wrong person, the devil is the enemy and the same way we think we deserve grace is the same way the person who wronged us does too, because we all are sinners’.
What has that hardworking, beautiful and successful lady, you’re following on Instagram, done to you, to throw sand on her name. Do you know her personal struggles?
We spend so much of our energy being bitter and angry for no reason while we could be putting that very same energy into something that will help us grow.
We need to understand that hurting people will not take our pain away until we unpack and get to the root of our problem(s). Let’s do better. Everyone has feelings and we all hurt so let us not add to someone’s pain. The only thing/person that is stopping you from being like the person you try to hurt is you and no one else.
It’s not your business who someone is sleeping with or how she got what she got, your business is to mind your own business! At the end of the day, we each have our lives to live and if God could give us the choice to choose how we want to live it, who are you to try and tell someone how to live or judge them?
STOP! Stop wishing bad for other people because, to be honest, that shit will backfire on you. It will happen to you instead because God’s children are protected, and he doesn’t care who they are now but who they will be.
Until you start checking your damm self, get off social media and take the time to work on you. And there is nothing wrong with complimenting someone and being happy for them. But you know, the world is so messed up that these days, people don’t even know how to welcome a compliment without wondering if it’s fake or genuine. It is so sad but if we can work on ourselves then we will get to a better place one day.
