We can either love or hate, interact or be indifferent. Whatever
we chose, regardless of the outcome, is something we have to live with. Sometimes
we don't realise the negative impact of our choices and continue on with them.
We live in disillusion, telling ourselves that we have no idea why we are doing
things or that they just played out in a certain way. The truth of the matter
however, is that we allowed it to happen as such. We could have done otherwise,
chosen a different route, but instead we followed the path and didn't differ.
The sad thing is, when the proverbial shit hits the fan we have
no one else to blame but ourselves. We made that choice. We determined the end
result and just as a hypertensive who doesn't exercise ends up in hospital, so
too do we end up hurting. What we do today will determine how we will feel
tomorrow or sometime in the distant future.
It hurts more when our choices result in the loss of
something dear to us. We don't even realise it but all the imperceptible little
actions that govern our daily behaviour is nothing short of our destruction. We
do these things without thinking and therein rests our downfall. We don't think
beyond the moment or action. It that small space of time within which we make
that irrevocable mistake we forget to think beyond. We forget the importance of
projecting into the future and so that action results in the loss of what once
mattered.
Again we have no one to blame but ourselves. Yet, instead of
accepting responsibility for our actions we seek to lay the blame whichever way
we can. We blame timing, fate and other people. What we fail to see is that we
are the unalterable reason. No one else is responsible for you but you. Should you
lose a person whom you care for dearly, it will be through your actions or
failure thereof.
Like I've mentioned before, life will continue to teach us
the same lesson continually until we learn it. Until we learn to accept responsibility
for the choices we make, we will continue making the wrong ones believing we aren't
doing anything wrong. I mean, why stop when you don't see anything wrong in it?
It amazes me how inapt we are in realising the errors in our ways. We fail
continually to see how our actions hurt others.
It can destroy us.
