I have heard a lot of people say that life is not balanced, most times I try to counter it by saying that my life is balanced in a bid to Maintain positive confession. But is life really balanced?
I feel life is not balanced at all, rather it’s very far from it. If life is balanced why don’t we just dream and have what we want happen. Must life always happen. Our last week prompt opened my eyes to a lot of imbalances of life. Come to think of it, all the posts that I read regarding the child hood dream all had the Same experiences. It’s like no one ever got to really have what they wanted.
At one point or the other the imbalances of life sets in and we have to bend to circumstances beyond our power. If life is balanced, why do bad things happen to good people. If life is balanced, why do we have to struggle so much to make ends meet and have the good things of life. If life is balanced, why does it seem that the good men get the bad women and the good women get the bad men.
One of my senior colleague and friend was telling me the ordeal he passed through in the hands of the girl he wanted to marry and her parents. The problem basically wasn’t from the girl and she loves him and wanted to marry him but her parents were of very bad influence on her and didn’t really want to approve the wedding while he Kept on spending on the girl.
They have already fixed their wedding day and the wedding didn’t hold because of the reluctance on the girls parents part. It was really frustrating. They frustrated the young man alot. One day the father of the girl now called him and told him that they would give him the final answer in two weeks time because at that point, the girl said she’s not interested in the marriage again without any genuine reason.
Well, the young man at this stage was already frustrated and told them that whatever they decide is ok by him and that he was already moving on. A friend adviced him to play hard man and stop being at their beck and call. When they saw that the game has changed, that was when they started threading carefully because at this time he read already fed up. Not picking her calls and told the parents that they can keep their child if they don’t want.
They changed and started treating him nice when they said that he has become a hard man. Why question is why do men like toxicity? If you are nice, they trample on you and treat you like you don’t have sense. Now it’s the girl that’s doing the chasing but all these while this guy has done nothing but love and chase her and she was misbehaving.
When he told me the story cos I have been following up on it, I just said that life is not balanced. People won’t value what they have until they lose it.
