Elusion!

The weekend is almost here and i was just reflecting on the week that has been.Started with all these mixed intuitions of whether or not to give up on some things or to just hang in there and keep on pushing.

I sit here and reflect on how rosy life is/might be for some..and to others how distressing it might be.
I take one lesson with me,never ever assume that things are going on well with those close to you,just because someone smiles at you or they're quiet on you or you hang out just fine you assume that they are okay,might just be the opposite.

I got a chance to speak to a friend(who allowed me to write this blog)thank God for this third eye,i sat down with them and started having a normal chit chat,and just catch up on how life is taking us and all..and in not less than 7minutes is when an out-pour of words came crushing down.Never been struck in my entire life.We’ve all heard someone who has said this phrase, or a phrase similar to this like, “If that happens, I’m just gonna kill myself” or “Kill me now” or "why dont i just die" etc. Phrases like these are just in our everyday conversations, and no one really thinks twice about them because, obviously the people aren’t serious when they say them. They are just words that get said when you need to blow off some steam because you are at your wit’s end with a situation. Been there done that. I sometimes say them too. There are days when I am in a predicament that I don’t really want to be in but am forced to be there for whatever reason. When that happens, my girl will 4 times out of 5 get a text message that says, “eish…kill me now!” and she just laughs and says, “that bad, eh?” And then we continue on with our conversation.

My best friend laughs because, like I said, we both know that I am not being serious in my request for her to kill me. I don’t actually wish I were dead instead of being in that situation. I just don’t like what is going on around me, and I don’t want to be there. It’s an exaggeration that is used to convey just how much I hate whatever is going on. It’s as simple as that.
But this was this person's actual case..i'm then struck,sit back and ask myself when did it come to this?dint i read the signs early enough?

What happened to that notion of us wanting to know how the other person is and things like that?shame on me!is what i pasted on my forehead after hearing all that.They open up and tear up and shout and oh God!Nerve-racking and sad and all this melancholic feelings going round and round.......
What i'd say though is..lets all develop that culture of wanting to know how the other person is,go on a little deeper and get to understand a person's situation.We all know that clearly life isn't as rosy for everyone,and we shouldn't take for granted the fact that we are fine when others are not.

Our culture is known for togetherness and compassion and humanity..you know,ubuntu.Lets bring that back!develop that 'i care attitude and kill the busyness''' we tend to portray in our lives.Give an ear,listen,advice.Proverbs say's that "whoever refreshes another will also be refreshed",can it get any better than that?It doesnt take off a single hair from your body.Its brotherhood and love and wanting to see our backbones in perfect peace!

What a way to start off the year,by saying lend an ear and most of all guard your minds from all negativity.The mind is the most powerful gift God could ever give to all mankind.Why not guard it and help make the world a better place.Today Change your thoughts and change your world!Oh and stop with the Elusion.

Thanks for the read :)
