WHAT A WORLD WE LIVE IN

You will never know how much this world is rotten until you find yourself in an argument with someone who only thinks the world revolves around them. At that point, you feel like you can lose it and do something that you may regret for years, but thank God, I know what it means to have patience and to walk away.

For many, taking such a step is out of the question. All they think is, What will the world think about me? And my question to them is, of what value would your fighting with such a person be to you and those around you? All the while, when growing up, we were taught values that were supposed to guide us in this life: to live peacefully together with other people around us, no matter how selfish, greedy, mean, or violent they could be. Living peacefully alongside others should be a no-brainer. There is nothing we should be worrying about at this time and age in life. We should always look back and see where the actions of our predecessors landed them when they turned against each other. I know it feels bad when you lose, but is that the end of your fighting? Was that the moment you were supposed to win and lift the trophy? I guess we have our priorities wrong.

According to my thinking, the reward we get from this life is eternal life, that is, if we have lived as per God’s wish. The Bible always talks about forgiving and always sacrificing, but the world today preaches about me, money, and more money. Only a few people will stand out for having lived a life so pure. 

It is time for us all to embrace a peaceful way of life. Accept that the goals we set for ourselves may flop. It takes nothing away from our lives to forgive, nor do we lose much to accept that things don't always work the way we expect them to. Let us not be a society that cries over spilled milk, because once it is gone, it is gone forever. It may be a hard lesson to learn, but it starts by knowing that everything we have today is by the grace of God, who is the author of our lives.

God bless you, and let us together work towards a peaceful world.

It is all possible, and it starts with you.

God bless you.
