Right now, I am moved to say I was right after all. Right about what? The thing I told you yesterday about your enemies. If you don't crush them first, they'll be back to crush you.
The rat we pitied yesterday, returned to tell us, we are stupid, to our faces. Just as I predicted. He returned to pay us back. This morning, the human who caught him yesterday, woke up to find half-eaten tomatoes everywhere. The dent points to the rat.
How could he do that to us, after all, we did for him? I hear you, don't even start, it's the same thing we say about a fellow human.
I remember, reading something, and it said, "pick a bee up from kindness, and learn the limitation of kindness". I am sure no one has to tell you that bee will sting you whether or not you intended to help him.
Wait, I have another one, this one says, " Men are more ready to repay an injury than a benefit because gratitude is a burden and revenge a pleasure". I don't think I need to explain this any more than I did yesterday.
The fact that we saved the life of that rodent and he returned to eat out food, should tell you, enemies are supposed to be treated as enemies, nothing more, nothing less.
Now, we have to spend more money (buying rat poison) to destroy it, this is something we would have averted yesterday if we had killed it. It applies to our lives too, when we take pity over the things we are supposed to destroy, the damages further down the line become greater.
At this point, I have learned my lesson, never again, will I allow something that will hurt me to see the daylight, it has to be eliminated before it eliminates me.
The wave that is trying to wash you away should be calmed, you shouldn't keep quiet about any of these things. You have to wake up and fight for your right. It doesn't matter if your enemy looks stronger than you, you can conquer it.
Your enemy may not be a rodent, nor a fellow human. It could be you. Maybe you constantly find yourself indulging in things likely to cost your life. You should stop now before it's too late. You should eliminate those habits that eat at you every day.
It wouldn't do you any good if you shorten your life span by your actions. You should take into cognizant that life is good, and you deserve something better.
Try not to get suffocated by anything. If it's social media, cut it off. If it's smoking or drinking, cut it off. If it's bad sexual habits, eliminate them. If it's a toxic relationship, end it. Someone should not be gaslighting you and you allow them to stay in your life, no, wrong. Is it an abusive partner? Please, leave them What benefit does losing your peace of mind over a fellow human give you? Nothing, only but heartaches, and depressive thoughts. This is your enemy, crush him or her.
You must prioritize your happiness over everything and anything. stop thinking about your past mistakes, get up, dust yourself, learn from them, and move on. Sitting in the ashes of self-pity makes you vulnerable to bad influences. These are the kind of influences that eats at you in demoralizing ways. Yeah, that's an enemy to your mental health, trash it.
Look towards finding happiness within yourself and spread it around you. the universe will respond in her way, and you'll be happy you did.
Are you your enemy? Gosh....that's pitiful. Rebrand yourself, your future self will thank you.
