PERSPECTIVES:
People should posses the ability to be resilient in the face of adversity.
Coping with any information that goes against what they believed to be so is crucial to utilizing critical thinking rather then being put off.
When something comes to light, it will either please us while other things won’t.
The current way of coping seems to be to castigate the person, to judge them harshly if it doesn’t fit with our own views.
How does emotionally dumping on someone else solve one’s own feelings? It doesn’t.
By directing hate, criticism or rejection at a person, how does that solve someone’s inability to regulate their emotions? It doesn’t.
Prioritising loyalty to a person and condemning anything that goes against our beliefs can bring resentment, discord and a belief that it is a betrayal.
Just because we feel that way doesn’t make it so.
When we strike out at others because we don’t like what we hear it reflects a difficulty in managing one’s emotions and reactions. It is often a protective defense.
Building resilience in navigating life’s challenges, setbacks, and realities will help us cope with any adversity, and thrive with the everyday ups and downs.
So please be kind, rewind and salvage the day because in the end is it really worth it?
The way is to be loving, open and fair.
The way is to be honest without fear.
The way is to appreciate one another and respect all walks of life when doing good with the right intentions.
The way is not to hurt one another because something within us doesn’t resonate the same.
This is what makes us one and connected as the goal is not to be vindictive or create harm.
Sometimes when this occurs - there’s no thought of the lasting effects it could have on us.
In closing, practice mindfulness and awareness and try to see the other perspectives because it’s never too late to make amends.
