How shall i describe it?
I am so naïve about a lot of things especially when it comes to dealing with people. I have maintained an attitude of impartiality towards anyone even to those I had unpleasant encounter with. Keeping in mind the golden rule (do unto others what you want others do unto you), I have managed the three decades of my existence without any complications whatsoever. At times, I receive comments that I am being so kind that’s why I have been taken advantage of. But at the back of my mind I told myself that some people eventually will have a change of heart, a change of perspective. On the other hand after a few hours and days of reflections, upon thinking about the experiences I had, I realized that there really are people who will never be nice despite the degree of “niceness” I exert, simply because they just don’t like me (as simple as that).
Well I guess this is the reality. We should not expect everyone to reciprocate our kindness and generosity. We should just maintain to be the person that we are (no pretensions, no hidden agenda) yet with a touch of sensitivity. And if despite our efforts to befriend someone and be a peace loving citizen, the choice is still ours in countering the situation. It’s time for the battle between good and bad, right and wrong, Christian or not, to commence. After all, there is no weak or strong decision. It’s the result that matters and how we are going to live up with the consequences.
