THE people I know from work or personally, no matter how quick or long, made me realize that there are truths in life that we would have to go through no matter how much we avoid it.
My experiences taught me that sometimes the things we fear the most will most likely happen and without control, you allow it to shake you over and over again.
It is for this reason that, I would like to share you some of the painful truths that may have actually happened in your life. These are four common realities which you may or may not experience. Let me just remind you that the pain it caused or will cause (oh my, it really) sucks!
No matter how true you are to your friends, some will still bite you until you get poisoned but sad because they still have the guts to tell the whole world they are your truest friends. A true friend can tell your weaknesses straight in your face without worrying you get mad. Your buddy that is happy of your achievements and shares your sorrows. They are proud of your strengths and never talk about you badly in your presence and in your absence.
Even if you follow your boss until hell, he or she will still disown you in time. Some employees follow all the orders of their superiors even it is against their beliefs. When they are told to kiss an ass, they will be proud to show their boss they can actually do it. But sad to sad to say that in life, even if you are willing to die for somebody, they will never appreciate you. You will die pleasing your boss, while your he or she will never feel your loss.
Your children may promise that they will take care of you when you get old, but someday you will find yourself alone, without their shadows. Parents for the most will always train their children to value the elderly. And when they get old too, they expect their grown up kids to take care of them until their last breath. But this is not the usual scenario, elderly parents are left at home with a paid caregiver or is admitted in an elderly institution. While the kids are so busy with their careers, they feel that already have returned their parents love and kindness when they can provide for their medicines and shelter. Parents are left alone without the touch of their children, until they die.
Spouses may appear faithful but in truth, they have cheated on you not only once but even twice, without your knowing. Some spouse would say – ‘I am very lucky because my husband or wife never have cheated on me”. Are you sure? Are with you with your spouse 24/7? Cheating is not only being intimate with somebody who is not your legal wife or husband. Cheating can be done in many forms like texting others with sweet and sexy messages, pretending to be single to newly met people, dating with someone for the purpose of one-night stand, eating out with someone but telling your spouse you are in a meeting or flirting with someone even without sex.
In these painful truths, never be afraid to face and accept that in this world, we are not exempted from experiencing what we fear most. So, in this life, we should take the courage to face the struggles against injustice, lying and greed with forgiveness.
Remember that everything you do for yourself will disappear when you die, but the things you do for others will remain as your legacy. If people all over the world would begin thinking like this, it is going to lessen painful truths and can change the world.
