Hey! You missed me? Well I am
back after the best birthday month ever, thanks to family and friends.
What defines us human is the
ability to feel and do most things that animals are limited to do. We have
feelings and we need them in order to live with each other. That is why it will
be hard for me to maintain a certain volume of noise at certain times because
something inside me will remind me to mind my neighbors hence reduce the volume
so that they can have rest after a long day.
What I want us to consider mostly
is what we say and when to say it. I remember somewhere I read that ‘Knowledge
is knowing what to say but wisdom is knowing when and how to say it.’ It simply
means, you do not walk in to a ward full of cancer patients and shout like a
mad person “my friend had cancer and they died, so if you have cancer you must
die,” or “They were a thief and so they deserved to die” in the middle of a
burial where family and friends are mourning. Like really, what is wrong with
you?
People are sensitive and as said earlier,
men are super but rarely show it, so do not let the smile and stiff facial
expression fool you. The make-up and eye lashes are just a mirage but in the
person, if they decided to open up, people are going through worst case
scenarios, scenarios that will make you break down and hate yourself from being
a pain in the rear … people are hurting.
So when someone comes to you to
tell you, “I just lost my job” try and ask them how they are holding up and
take them places they do not need to think too much about the situation instead
of asking them “What did you do?, Did you save while working or you were busy
paying for our drinks with what you should have been saving?” reality will hit
soon and with time some questions become easy and right to ask-is what I am
trying to put across.
If by any given chance, you know
you are bad at asking what and when… zip up that mouth, you do not have to say
more after the word sorry. We are humans, so let us act like humans and
consider situations before reacting or saying something because “once a word is
uttered, it can never be reclaimed” people will keep silent about it but they
will remember. Be sensitive enough to ask yourself, what would I want to hear
from people when I am going through a certain ordeal? And pap, common sense
will hit with an answer.
Thank you, kisses my dear reader.
