Other people?


People are confused on street, or like everywhere.

Let say, if you try to hide some knowledge from your colleagues, so that you feel better than them. You think it helps your confidence and secures you. But at first, you wouldn't plan some concept in your mind, 'Other people are doing that too, why can't I?', so that there's no guilt for you to show a little selfishness, doing something exactly just for yourSELF.

Don't you think while other people doing that, I mean, being selfishy, they are having the same thought like you in their minds too? They would also think, 'Why can't I? Other people are doing that too.'

If everyone were to think other people are doing that, who exactly are 'the other people?' Ask yourself, would they just appear to be a projection of your subconscious?

If there are really 'other people' who start the whole things first, you just tend to follow the trend, then who would be those who start the whole things out? Or it just the little evil inside you give you the key for the door of sin?

Main point: Can we make a difference?

Mother gave me some really supportive words that I would like to share here.

She said, 'Things God ask us to do sometimes confused you cuz it seems to be just the opposite of how the world goes around. God said, 'If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also.' So that he can strike my another cheek? And God even said, 'If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you.'

She said,'You would wonder. What is this? How could I do that? Other people don't do that. They punch their enemies back, if it happens to be them being punched. But it ends up, what He told us to do are the Truth and the right things we had done.'

You might say, 'It's hard. We can't change the world.'

But God can make the difference.

I still remember a Pastor said in the last two Christian Fellowship, 'Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.'

I see that some people still haven't really understand the world had be fallen to two part, real world and the spiritual world, Christians are unaware of that. Often we love to stroll along the line between the light side and the dark side and sometimes closing an eye when we curi-curi step one foot to the dark side.

Furthermore, I hated to hear people say, 'This is the reality.' I often questioned, 'Who are you to define reality?' Are you the 'other people' whom other people had been following?

I know, it had been confusing.

So, God has made the simplest way for us. Why not follow it?

By the way, remember to smile always.
