Turning My Back on the Temptations

It is not everything you can do that you should do. It is not everything that you know works that you should try. Many a times, trust your instincts and believe in the wise words of the elders, especially those in the Holy book of God.

Is life all about making big sums of money? No! There is more to life than just the money. In the quest for an easy life, many people are just survibving and not actually living. Yeah! What does it mean to live if your life is not based on any law, moral, ethical or religious principle. What type of life are we actually talking about if you have sold your conscience and traded your dignity for earthly things like money.

I see the wicked “prospering” on other people’s mights and they are happy about it. There are young people I know who try to throw some slangs at me and tell me I could be rich and have whatever I want if I wasn’t pretending to be just and straight forward. Have everything I want? What exactly do they understand by everything? There are billions of things that money will never be qualified to buy.

Many money is good if done the clean and genuine way

Can I Please Everyone?

Certainly, the answer is NO. It is “impossible” to please everyone. However, the word impossible at times is subjective. Many people don’t even want to have them in their vocabulary.

No categorization system can tell the different types of people on our planet but looking at things the very simple way, I can talk about the friendly and unfriendly. Some people live a “self-sufficient” life and avoid getting involved with as many people as possible. They do believe the have all and that anyone stepping into their life has nothing to offer, but may be a source of some of their belongings leaking out. They feel they need nobody. They don’t reflect on their actions and don’t care about how they impact others. Most people hate them. Surprisingly enough, though, they still have their own friends who may be like or unlike.

Some people on the other hand are very friendly, helpful, caring and loving. They love others and treat them as they will be done by. They try to do things the way that will please everyone. I guess that’s the problem I have. Can I really please everybody?

No action, no matter how good it is can be pleasing to everyone. At times, even the people who benefit from such actions still grumble and talk negative behind your back. Most of the time, they will take advantage of you because of your kind and tender heart, but letting a few spoil the show is not worth it.

Always try to do right. I know I can’t please everyone at once but I do my best to ask God for the right decisions and choices.
