"What if I am really nothing and useless like what that person says about me?"
"What if things go wrong and everything crumbles down and my soul gets broken?"
"What if I get cancer like how my father did and die at a young age?"
"What if my qualifications aren't enough for me to get a good job?"
"What if I am not able to survive this semester at school?
"What if I am not good enough and everyone hates me?"
"What if people keep taking advantage of my kindness?"
In your heads..
"I am really useless!"
"I am a hopeless person! Why am i even on this planet?"
"I am ugly, no one likes me."
"I am not good enough, I will never be."
"I can't take it anymore, it is killing me."
"Why do i deserve this treatment? why am i born this way?"
Person A:
Decides to dwell on the troubles and negative thoughts. He dives into negative emotions, shuts himself up and builds walls around himself. As time passes, he gets into the cycle of defeated lifestyle. Every day living with self-absorbed mindset,self-doubt, anxiety and depression. But he
has yet to know clearly, he not only hurts himself, but people around him who cares for him.
[A form of self-righteousness]
Person B:
Gets out of the negative thoughts after awhile, surrounds herself with positive people, finds solutions to the problems. Never gives up on being positive and maintains a healthy level of faith in humanity. She continues to be herself and be hopeful. She focuses on things that matter and worthy of her time. Nothing can stop her from being empathetic, kind, generous and loving to others.
[Strong soul]
Moral of the story:
No matter how many times you fall, stand up boldly and fight against your weaknesses and problems. Regardless of hardships, failures and disappointments, the BIGGEST mistake you can ever do to yourself is giving up on life and humanity. Once you become numb, if you go deeper, it becomes harder to get out of defeated life. And you know what makes you? You may become one of the person you once hated. They may be heartless, unkind, silly and have no life. Once you given up on life and people, you start to go on the wrong path they went through. You will be self-absorbed all day long, self-centred and hurt people around who love and cares for you. Thus, be wise on your decision making, love yourself enough to let go of those negative pasts and thoughts. Lastly, note that only when you love yourself enough, then you are able to love others wholly.
A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
