I was on the bus home one evening when a friend of mine texted me, apparently troubled & confused,he knows how he's feeling, doesnt like it one bit, but he didnt know how to deal with his emotions,whatever was affecting him, was affecting him really bad.
After every effort at consolation & cheering him up, i suddenly had a clear mental of picture of what all of it really pointed to.
Let's look at it this way.
Individual X = has a set of emotions to which he is reacting to a situation = a set of thoughts, actions, & speech = Individual Y
Yup, that's how the world works, my friend. Consciously or not, we run on our emotions, they affect our relationship with others, who just like us, are running this race we call life, its our own race, not a race to finish first, by the way, HAHAH.okay lame. but yeah, our emotions dont just affect us whether we like it or not, they affect other people as well somewhere along the way.Ever asked yourself why that boring math teacher screamed in your face for not handing in your assignment on time, and how you felt like punching him/her after tht? well,
Gifford = Bored = She's boring,why bother to listen anyway? Assignment? What assignment? + Inaction (doesnt do hwk -.- ) + "cher, got homework meh?" = 'Cher" = Pissed, frustrated, disappointed = He didnt do my work! Again! + Screams at Gifford + " You &*@#&! Get it done before five or i'll phone your parents and you'll be sorry!
Point taken?
one thing leads to another because we fail to look at what really affects us, it aint the people,well,not really,it all starts out because we feel the way we do, think the way we do, which leads to an action, and the whole cycle sorta repeats itself.And it will continue to, untill you do something about it. What causes you to react the way you do, i suggest, is your heart. So what's the condition of your heart today?
The heart is the key to all human relationships. You see, there is always a tendancy to love people the way we are loved by others, to work with your team the way your team leader used to work with you, etc, etc. In the same way, because we first tasted and experienced god's love in our lives, we should love people the way he loves us! there's a reason why i used 'should' here.
Because there are the exceptional few who break out of this chain,it could work postively or negatively.
say your group project leader doesnt work well with his/her team, you dont like the way he leads the team, if you do something about it and learn from this mistake, you might be a better leader when the time comes!
These are agents of change in a world where people are constantly caught in routine, routines that take them nowhere at the end of the day because they dont do anything about their situation. These are people who can, and will make a difference.
But there are others who also break out of the chain where god's love is concerned, and if they dont do anything about it, they'll fall out, the rest is history.
God never set any expectations in loving us, he just does!
So what gives you the right to set any expectations of yourself and the ones you love?
If thats what ure doing, if thats what you think you're doing, then maybe ure just not doing it right.
