FEASTING ON, OR FIXING IT?
Men always go through different phases of their lives in different dimensions, and level of difficulties. Some periods are very difficult and most times people get confused on what next to do, they become dry minded and unmotivated to go ahead on that journey; it seems nothing is working for them and all they can think of is throwing in the towel.
It is in these kind of times that we discover those who really love us, and those who do not care about us for a moment. Our friends are not those close to us, around us, and with us, who show themselves friendly to us, neither are our enemies those who are far away from us. Our friends are those who in our difficult times rise up to help us find a way out of that difficulty, irrespective of how long we have known them, or how closely related they are to us.
When we see people around us going through life's challenges, when we come across someone struggling with life, what do we do? Do we feast on their misfortune and difficulties by laughing at them, and deriving pleasure in their pain? Or we find a way to fix their problems and lift them out of their quagmire?
If you go out of your way to make someone happy, if you make delibrate efforts to fix another man's problem, you will not be without such help when you need it. Maybe not from the expected quaters, but it will surely come. Helping people overcome their challenges can also help you build the capacity to deal with such challenges when you come across them. Tables turn, and life happens, whatever you do for and/or to another man will never go unreciprocated.
