There are countless personalities in the world. As they say in my village, the chiefs reign supreme and the submissive Indians are few and far between.
I am a very calm person, but I rebel against injustice with respect and precision, without disparaging anyone.
I believe in karma, and just as we treat others, we will be treated in turn. We must always sow and water in order to reap.
In life, anything goes, that is, there are times when we can do things and other times when we cannot, and we must express this without fear.
I have seen cases where, because they don't say ‘no’, people take advantage of them, and most of them are people who deep down want to please everyone, without realising that behind this facade lies not only mental but also physical exhaustion due to their work, and there is always someone who wants to take advantage of the weak.
Applying this weekend's question, I focus:
- I don't let them get involved in my life: there are many people who focus on finding out about our lives and giving their opinion about them without looking at themselves, and I dislike that, especially if they are people who are neither here nor there. That's where I mark my distance.
A clear example of this is that I am currently a new mother and I produce little milk, so I have to resort to bottle feeding, and third parties criticise me in a caveman-like way, saying that mothers are there to breastfeed, without the need for a bottle. That criticism bothers me because, first of all, they don't give me the money to buy formula, and secondly, it's my problem whether or not I give him formula. They are meddlesome and impertinent. And that's where I make myself heard with a simple response: children belong to their parents, and we know what we give them and what we don't. It sounds harsh, but third parties, whether family or not, should keep their distance.
Every being is the master of their own destiny. It is worth listening to and putting into practice only comments that add value, not detract from it.
- No to discrimination and violence: it drives me crazy to see how people, because of prejudices based on colour, religion, sexual preference and even jealousy, push their fellow human beings away without seeing beyond their appearance, their essence, humiliating them in front of half the world. I see cases like this often, and I believe that no one is more or less than anyone else. We are all children of God, regardless of our religion or profession, and we all deserve a chance to be treated with respect and consideration.
Everything has a limit, and if we cross the line, violence comes into play, which, depending on the psychological state, can be mental or physical. Many workplaces and homes face this, and it is something that must be avoided. It costs nothing to treat our fellow human beings well, because we do not know what life has in store for us. Today we may be down, but tomorrow we may be up. Life is a roulette wheel.
- No to idleness: I don't like sitting still, laziness doesn't suit me, inactivity brings not only physical but also mental poverty. We have everything we need to fight, we must seize the opportunity to live that God gives us.
There are many people who cannot use their limbs, and they are examples of enterprising people who throw themselves into life with enthusiasm, and we who have everything because we can stay in the comfort zone are called to reflect.
My adventures of ‘no’ are simple and precise, and many will find them difficult today, but tomorrow they will be a treasure.
Let us value our essence, adding to who we are with our actions.
