Life is not WHITE and BLACK only

Our lives are just like a colour palate…

We live in a world full of different characters, beliefs, thoughts, and even education. We can’t judge people by their covers, and I don’t know how many times you’ve known or read these words when you scroll through social media.

The more I dig deeper into what I’m studying right now, the more I’m scared of people. Why? Some people are still being judgmental when they see others as different from them.

Let me explain more:

  • We do different things.
  • We were born with different backgrounds.
  • We studied different subjects.
  • We had different religions and beliefs.

It means that our lives are full of colors. Like a rainbow!

Humanizing people is more important than your achievements.

When people think that this life is only white and black, don’t be surprised that those kinds of people are easily stressful and easily pull people down or blame everything around them when anything doesn’t come as they want.

  • If we believe in God, why do we act like God and pretend to know everything about people’s lives?
  • If we worship God like crazy and tears fall down, why do we kill people with our bad words or even with our actions?

Your beliefs and religion are nothing when you can’t treat humans really well. Our beliefs are based on what we do in our daily lives, not the many religious activities we attend.

We can’t put people in a box and hope they live as we do. No, it won’t happen, or you’ll get stressed.

We’re hard to understand people because, in fact, we’re hard to understand ourselves, too. We tend to give a response while people are talking, but we deny listening and being present.

Well, I think my writing at this time is not that long because it’s better for me to pour it out in the simplest and shortest way.

See you on the next topic!

I hope we can live more mindful all day, every day!
