We all have these roller coasters in life that visit us randomly, on the times when we least expect it. Strengths and weaknesses are witnessed, tears and frustrations are shown. Different perspectives and levels of understanding are then expressed, but only a few help a person in making it through.
Choosing the right people to trust during hurricanes is difficult. This world is getting toxic day by day, and there’s no assurance of having permanent emotional shelters. Being alone while facing trials is not good either. Too much selfishness can cause one to self-destruct in so many ways.
Freedom of choice. Everyone has this.
Freedom to choose what to believe, what to do, where to go, who to talk to… It is indeed true that in this very gruesome world, the only one whom one can depend to, and at the same time, one’s greatest enemy, is thy self. Time and external factors can influence, but the remote control is found within one’s self.
No one’s perfect. One’s strength are always meant to fill in other people’s gaps and vice versa. Hence, judgments, even if it’s given, should be avoided as much as possible. Surviving should be done by enhancing one’s edges, not by pulling each other down with each others’ weaknesses.
We are all flawed after all, but mindset changes and empathy can truly help. A lot.
How would you remind yourself on being a human being?
