Is it just me, or is it common that human want other people to be what they want them to be? Sometimes it is hard to accept people the way they are. Every single person is created uniquely, no one is the same. When we interact with others, sometimes (or maybe a lot of times), we want other people to be like this, like that, the way what we want them to be. And when other people can’t be what we want, that’s when the conflict came about.
We are all learning and growing, and as part of a process, we’ll fall down sometimes. However, it is not how many times you fall that defines you, but it is how many times you get up after you fall down that will determine your future. Why is human’s life so difficult? Because human being is the highest creation of God, created in the image of God. As the best creation that God ever created, it is mandatory that humans have to undergo life trials and tribulations. When you buy a diamond, you’ll make sure that it has been tested and certified perfect and worthy of the price you pay for it. Will you bother if you buy $2 stationery? In the same way, more worthy and more valuable creations, like humans, have to be tested and passed all the trials before can be certified perfect.
Back to the main topic, it’s not easy, we tend to want others to understand us, without first trying to understand others. I am in the midst of learning how to accept others the way they are, and realizing I do not have unlimited chances to fail, hopefully I can pass this lesson in life before I have used up all my chances. Fingers crossed. And of course, I do realize, and am very grateful for all the chances that I have been given. I will treasure each and every chances I have now, and treat it as possibly my last chance already.
