In this life we cannot please everybody; as much as we would like to, it is just not possible. My suggestion is this, let us do the best we can, as long as we can, to as many people as we possibly can. Don’t feel guilty when you know you have done your best in the interest of others whether it is for your family, relatives, friends or any other relationship….
When you do your best and others do what they can - just leave the rest to God! Mankind cannot be satisfied - we always want more. It doesn’t matter how much of yourself you have given; some folks will never have enough of you. Don’t get yourself exhausted and frustrated or you will either be running on empty. It is very important focus on your well-being.
My encouragement is- try not run on empty, look after your well-being. We cannot change the world, neither can we change people - no matter how hard we try. People will always be people irrespective of what category they fall. We are all humans, irrespective of race, culture, Faith, beliefs, height /statue. Each category has got similar problems.
God himself tried to fix mankind, to save them by sending His Son and people rejected him. How are we going to change people? We just can’t, no matter how hard we try, we do the best we can, as much as we can, as long as we can.
These days it’s all about the pride of life, what I want to gain, (a me and I syndrome). Morals and values are thrown out of the window. The world is in turmoil- it is vanity and vexation of spirit. The deep love of money has allowed families, people, communities or nations to rise up against each other. Most people these days are not willing to do anything without money.
God bless the few people that will do things without favour or without the money; I call them ‘people of kindness and compassion’. They just care from their heart. The heart is kind, pure and true.
Money is not all my friend; money comes and goes ... it is a temporary resource; we always seek for more. let me just put in here, that - (family is here with us we can’t replace them, even when they’re imperfect, let’s face it) we all have our flaws as imperfect people. Sometimes we find ourselves into some awkward matters, unpleasant at times and questionable, but-they’re family - love them still!!
The world we live in is very chaotic and it can only be change through Devine intervention. My
