Trying Not To Look Like My Problem>> Hive-Reachout Weekly Prompt 108.

I am sure we are conversant with that phrase "don't look like your problem", where you would see someone who has borrowed Loan from the bank, phone apps and even some individuals, living carefree and possibly not looking the part, also you may see couples that fight alot at home and even resulting to physical abuse, when you see those couples outside they would be all lovey dovey like they sincerely love each other and this poor you would be saying "God when"?, another instance could be a person who is always laughing and smiling with everyone outside meanwhile every night they cry alone on their pillows.

I am sure you can relate to some of these Instances which is what brings me to the point where I would say that most of these are the reason why we often conclude that this person is okay just because we are seeing them from afar, you sure wouldn't know a person fully until you get close to them, hmmmm 😁 I sure have fallen victim of that kind of costly assumption and I would take full responsibility of that, I possibly am not a mind reader so I can't just see a person and guess through them except for the spirit of discernment which is given by God.

This very lovely course mate of mine is a dark skin lady, extremely beautiful, a very reserved lady, she had no friends in the department and reasons why I said that was because after every lectures she leaves class immediately without chitchatting with anybody, nevertheless she's a very cool and friendly lady because people always like to interact with her, I also see her as a rich kid because she always love buying snacks like two popcola, biscuits, awara and bringing to the lecture hall, she takes bike and hardly trek.. with all these description of her am sure you would say this one has little to no worries on her plate but just wait a minute...

The reason why she brings two bottles of popcola drink to class is because she has BP problem and she is regulating it with that popcola drink as prescribed by her doctor, she loves eating always because of ulcer and she barely trek to a long distance because anything can stir up her health crisis, so just imagine me sitting from afar with a very good health and saying "she no know wetin God don do for her as she de enjoy so" but guys until I got to know her on a personal level before I understood what was really going on, and that strike really hard, like en enter.

Situations like that taught me to be grateful to God for the state I am in and not just comparing my situation with someone I think is better than me, sometimes if we hear what got them to that level that we are envying we would never have the mind to pay the price, so in essence it taught me gratitude of the little we have.

Life can be funny and that funny wouldn't be the one that will make you laugh, so be grateful in all things. Thank you for reading through.
