Putting Down One's Pride
Humans have too much pride of themselves. Everyone of us, including myself.
We get mad when we are told off, when we are criticised or when we are put down. Rarely is one not
affected in a negative way if someone disagrees with us.
If everyone learns to be open about it, the unhappiness will not swell up into something ugly, something so horrendous that it eats into your soul and makes you do something very regrettable.
Openess should never be regarded as a lack of culture, or uncivilised as long as it is done in a diplomatic way.
Intercultural differences, religious differences or any other differences from our fore fathers should all
be resolved as soon as possible. We are all living in a very global world with old borders or barriers broken down by high tech communication systems. As long as we all never open up ourselves and treat each other like our own family members, patching up even after severe quarrels , we will always have
this ' war' carried from generation to generation. Sometimes I wonder if they even understand fully the basis of this continuous enemity. Just as our fingers on one hand are of different lengths, so are we humans. There can never, never be a day when we all believe the same beliefs. Never, so why continue with all the bloodshed and mud slinging.
God controls. Pray, do your part but very discreetly. I don't believe God ever tells us to do anything in a hurting manner. I think He wants us to be loving, gentle and patient just like Him.
We all have to think about it. Are we doing things the right way? Does it represent God, does it represent His love?
I have to be careful too. Always remembering about God's love, how He wants us to love our fellow brothers and sisters, aother human, who has two eyes, a nose, a mouth and two ears, not an alien. Be gentle, patient, no despising, always uplifting.
I just don't understand why some humans can be so kind to animals, yet the same human can be so hateful of another human.
