You’ve probably been through dark days when you feel like an ant in the world, so you start thinking of death. If it gets too bad or if you’re a God-fearing Christian, you start comparing yourself to those non-Christians who get to drink, party and have luck, yet they hardly pray.
Meanwhile you sit with tears in your eyes, weary and you start thinking about the number of times you prayed, read the Bible, the temptations you’ve been through and how hard it was to turn away from them.
You felt life was useless, so you did not understand the point of living any more. Yip! Life can get like that. Then there are those extremely awesome days when you are treated like a red herring, when you walk on sand and it feels like walking on gold, when everything seems to be going your way and you say to yourself I am blessed and you just want people to give you a thousand compliments while you still in the limelight. You’d even want people to ask you your autograph, and you just can’t keep that huge smile off your face even if you tried. These are the two versions of life to a typical human being.
Life is a mixture of good and bad, not a compound! Therefore you just have to learn how to go through the blue moments and enjoy the good. We should than learn to be grateful to God. I mean, how many times do you hear somebody you’ve known of who died but you didn’t. There are wars in other countries but none in yours. You get to eat every day, others don’t. You get to have a mother and a father while many are orphans. These are little things according to many but trust me, these little things are the ones that matter the most. They build up life and can break it down just like protons are little and unnoticed but then again they make up matter!
If you subtract five cents (which is very small and regarded as unimportant to many) from N$1000, you’ll remain with N$999.95. Life is a game, you can’t ace it if you did not read the rules! If people can’t seem to stop gossiping about you, whether it’s your body size, manners or anything, don’t worry, don’t even ask your best friends for updates. Keep calm because those are your confused admirers and remember confusion can fade away!
