“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main….”
John Donne
We can never tell how life will turn out and so therefore I will always say we should be kind and generous, not only to others but especially to ourselves. It should be second nature. I know persons that assume I am on top of the world now and so I will always be there. You don’t know what’s in store for you so treat yourself and others with respect. Treat others how you want to be treated.
I have seen more than one person treat others and family as if they don’t count to now regret their previous behavior. Why would you say, it’s because they now have no one in their life and it’s all because of past behavior. It’s easy to tell people to forgive and forget but it’s not the easiest thing to do. Some just walk away from the person because of the stress that they experienced and so later in life they don’t want to be around that person. It’s just a matter of setting your priorities and boundaries. It then becomes such a habit that you continue in that vain. The other person doesn’t even realize that you have walked away because they are so focused on themselves that no one else counts and they very often don’t notice that they are no longer on top of the world until they notice that there is no one around them.
One of the things I noticed when this happens is that they will say I don’t really need anyone around me any way as I am self sufficient, but are you really? Remember, No man is an island. You might think you are but I’m here to tell you otherwise. I’m not saying that you are to befriend the entire world and be all up in everyone face just to seem that you are the best thing since slice bread. Just be decent. It’s not that hard. Just a smile and move on. It makes a difference to the person and to you as it helps to lighten the load. A smile can make you feel so light. Try it if you don’t believe me and I mean a real smile.
The thing that Covid taught us was that humans are social creatures. It taught us that lesson clearly with no ambiguity. It was then that many realized we just need to be around others. It seem as if some forgot that lesson. Maybe their memory is short.
Interestingly the idea for this blog came to me when I saw someone that looked as if he didn’t have a friend in the world and then to realize he didn’t. Why was that? He had been the CEO of a company years ago and he lived large. He had a family but they were shall we say an add on. He never really got to know his family or his extended family so when they all walked away he didn’t even notice. So now he has no one and there is nothing he feels he can do about it. What would you suggest that he do? Is there really anything he can do or should he remain as he is by himself? What would you do
Let me know what you think, I really want to know and I sure others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. It could also spawn another blog. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.
Always remember life is for living and you must always live your best life. #lifeisforliving #liveyourbestlife #gratefulforlife #faithgreaterthanfear
