There is this saying that, "what goes up comes down" and I sometimes wonder if, it has anything to do with successful individuals.
Growing up in a closed knit society as a kid, I saw many "rich" people who went up so high that they were the envy of the people only to fall so low that they became a point of sad story telling.
Some of them were ritualist, fraudsters, regular folks, well known thieves, politicians etc.
True story:-
There was a particular one who was a Customs officer and because he could get for himself seized properties, he became a demi-god. He would molest his family members, helpless elders and virtually anyone else he sees as being less than himself.
Last I heard of him, he is retired with nothing to show, has nothing of his own, his children deserted him and he now works as the leader of the local council enforcers in the same village he reigned supreme.
Casting my mind back makes me kinda of scared if those who rise in their chosen field will fall at one time in the future.
No!
That saying is mostly for that proud boastful arrogant individul who thinks because he is up there, everyone else is scum.
"What goes up must come down". The man who takes his time to build an empire will do well not to leave destructive pieces behind that will pull him down. But the arrogant and boastful man, will in his vain pursuit leave so much of these pieces that will be waiting right down there for him for when he comes crashing down. Oouch!
Live your live knowing that, everyone around you have a role to play in your doing and your undoing.
Do not allow the little things you think you have that someone else doesn't have make you miss the important lessons in life.
The story of a man is not complete without the mention of his kindred.
Yes, the good, the bad, and the uglies of life has their value in helping form a man that may have truly lived life.
So what you are hurt, is that not supposed to be a common ingredient in life? Jesus Christ was hurt too and He never stopped loving you.
I wish that you fly high and never have to experience the bitterness of a forced fall.
Remember, what goes up must surely come down if, it is not designed to stay up there.
The secrete to constantly been on top is investing in people and also respecting them. A lot of people forget this and do as they please just because they can forgiting that time and chance happens to us all.
Happy new month

Those that are at the top see people at down that they can't rise and it's not true. We shall all rise and they should know that there ain't anything forever cos even forever ain't forever. No one can rich forever if he ain't helping the poor cos God provides for the rich so as to help the poor

Get rid of arrogance from your heart . Don’t ever feel the need to look down on someone; not for anything that the Almighty has given you — your wealth, power, good looks etc. Remember His Might and Power and how He can take away your blessings in seconds

Thanks for your wise counsel. Certainly, the proud will go down. Pride goes before a fall.

Like a wheel that always rotates, sometimes its position above sometimes below, has become a law of nature in life. As well as something that goes up, gradually will go down according to his nature, it's just us as human beings to always try to fall if not too hard and feel very sick. How to always be grateful for what we've got and obtained in an honest way.

Well said @ejemai, this wise saying "what goes up must surely come down" is not only applicable to force of gravity but to other things we do in life. Is most effective when we are on the wrong part or choose not to do things the right way.

There's a gravity principle on earth that will pull any man down who rises by the world's principles, but there are principles that superceeds this world's principles. One of such principles is Giving. Another is Diligence, another is humility. If a man rises by these principles, he will know no fall. It is possible to rise and stay up, and that's what I choose. Thank you Sir for sharing. RESTEEMED!

@ejemai I'm really inspired by these words; the proud will always find themselves crumbling at the tail end, and it's up to us to try and set our paths right.
Extremely legit writeup to welcome everyone to a new month and also remind us that there's always a chance to change..... It's a thumbs up from me.

Pride is the downfall of every man
Its makes you lose your place in the heart of God.
Yes,surely what's goes up shall come down.
But when God lift you up, it goes higher and higher.
For the rich and poor, God is the creator of them all.
Its good to appreciate and bless people around you.
Arrogance pays not , humility does
Great post @ejemai
