There are a whole lot of things that we are specially made of, things that are difficult to relate with but that's what makes us so special, I mean, come to think of it, we do not have magic or the powers to take the pains from a person feeling it, but then in a way, we can substitute the pain that a person feel by sacrificing our peace for them...
Do you not think it is special gift of humanity? That you can be passing through something and I'll take it from you, and give you peace, while I'll be the one to feel that pain...
Well the truth still remains that it's always easier said than done, but blessed is he that does it...
So many at times it's so painful that life is so much unpredictable, I mean, why will I wake up in the morning, a beautiful morning at that, then decide how my day is going to be very successful and fruitful, and smooth without any cause to alarm or anything against my wish...
And just unfortunately, another unexpected thing that's probably not worthy to be a problem will just enter the frame and will now turn the whole situation to be a chaos, and then you'll be put in the middle, thinking hard, what will be the solution? Should I ignore or should I react?
What exactly I do? Should I just make this sacrifice and let everything go back to normal or I should react just the way the situation is boiling and everyone should scatter themselves and at the end of the day, everyone will just rest, and the craziest thing about this is that you have to make that decision as soon as possible cause the longer you delay, the more things gets crazy, so what do you do?
Personally, i no like wahala, but at the same time, I really love to prove my point, most especially when I'm so sure that I am right, I'll make sure that I try to convince you so so so much, but when I see say you talk pass me, I'll just give up, I no like too much wahala...
I have gotten to realise that making sacrifices is a way of life, but I don't know how much sacrifices we are going to make before we convince some humans that what we are doing is not because it favours us, but because we do not want you to feel disrespected or anything at all, we still do things we have to do just to make sure peace is held...
As much as I want to continue to convince you that I need peace, it's not that I'm at peace, it's just the sacrifices I'm trying to make so that we will both not feel anything, even though at the end I'll still feel it, and it might even hurt more than the way I'll explain it, now I see why they say it's only those that wear the shoes that knows where it is paining them...
I can remember so many years ago, there was a critical period in my life, I wanted to write my junior WAEC exam so I will of course be promoted to the next class, but my family was financially not stable, I remember my father asking me to step down so that my elder brother in school (University) can complete his studies...
This really got me thinking, I mean I was so sad that why do I have to step down so that he can be stepped up? I was so pained, but I had to make a decision. The choice was to go to a government school to cut expenses so I'll not lay school fees again, and my brother can continue his school life...
This cost me almost 2 years of not going to school, because my parent got scammed 2 good times while attempting to take me to government school and I stayed home for the first full session and then the next first term went, I couldn't go to school, my parent had to make a hard choice to take me back to a private school, after wasting all this times, it wasn't easy for any of us, but it was more painful for me because all my mates had left me, and we not ahead of me...
I felt bad, but I realised that these are the sacrifices we make sometimes in life, they might not favour us, but at the end of the day we'd tell it as a story, and I know when I am way bigger, I'll tell it as a very interesting story, in fact, my success will tell the story...
Sacrifices are just the ways of life, we just have to make some hard choices that might later pay us and might also never pay us, but anything that will bring peace, just do it, cause at the end, you'll be happy you did so, happiness might cost you a whole lot, and might not also cost you anything, just do it...
You'll be respected a whole lot of ways, you might not even know but it will just speak for you.
Lastly, there is no right reasons to do anything wrong, what is wrong is wrong, no matter the advantages you'll get from doing it, it doesn't stop anything...
