Been feeling rather frustrated these few days, maybe coz i have not been spending enough time with Him, my God, therefore the imperfections of the people around me are really getting on my nerves...READY FOR A LONG VENTING SESSION?
I cringe when I see the stubbornness someone holds on to in a bid to escape maturation.
I cringe when I hear people murmur constantly about how someone else is not doing what he/she say when they should just focus on how to be a better person themselves.
I cringe when I see people taking delight in gossips when they should just hold their tongue if they have nothing good to say.
I cringe when i see people not wanting to grow and move forward and blaming everyone else instead of looking at the only person they can do something about: THEMSELVES.
I cringe when I see girls living their lives in their husband or beau's shadows, basing their values on what they mean to him.
I cringe when I see people behave like money can buy everything.
I cringe when I see people complaining about the same old thing over and over again yet never wanting to do anything about it.
I cringe when I see people deriving their value on how they look externally.
I cringe when people come to me for help but they don't really even wana help themselves.
I cringe when people takes advantage of me just coz I trust them and care for them.
I cringe at rude people.
I cringe at hypocrites.
I cringe when people don't give me the space I need.
I cringe when people can take something positive, done out of good will and turn it into something totally negative; it's probably true that you attract what you are, you are what you think, negative people attract negative vibes.
I cringe when I hear girls talking about what they are lookin for in a man and most of which starts with something material the man must have. Why can't they understand that a man may be rich now but can be poor anytime if he didn't have the character to maintain them?
I cringe when I see girls buying diamond rings and paying by instalments( I can never understand this) when they are debt ridden. [Halo, the world is filled with starving people who can't even afford 3 proper meals and did you watch the movie "Blood diamond"?]
I cringe when I see the wish list of girls which comprises of branded bags, products etc (Things that can only feed them externally) and nothing else.
I cringe when I see girls walking on the streets holding and wearing the same things looking like uniformed robots made from the same factory. Why scrimp and save and probably use up all of their income for that next new branded product and diamond ring just so they can look like everyone else?Why can't they see that it is ultimately their character and personality that shines thru when their husband or beau sees the same face day in day out? What makes them so different when their value is based on something that anyone with money can buy? Why do people work so hard to buy these things when there are people in this world who dun even have money to buy shoes?
WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO LOOK LIKE CLONES?
Has this society changed to one in which the values of it's people are based on material things?
Dun get me wrong, I have nothing against having such things if
i) you can afford it ii) you genuinely like it and is not buying it coz everyone is having it iii) your value is not based on such material external things ie wanting to own that stuff so much that if you didn't have it you feel a part of you is missing
iv) Rather than investing your resources on such shallow things ,you ALSO invest your resources on "deeper" things in life as well, things that last, things that truly add value to who you really are.
All in all anything taken to the extreme is bad....
Yup this is another case of my evil twin vs the good ol' me. No worries, gotta put this part of me
back now, back to where it should belong. Time to"zip it"!
Truth is, people are imperfect but so am I, in the midst of my frustrations, there is a lesson to be learnt here. Loving imperfect people! And the only way i am able to do it is if I depend on You. Need to depend on You more. Still learning still growing still loving....
