Why it is best to turn the other cheek ;)

in life •  7 years ago 

Wiser words where never spoken!

It seems that we have an almost identical view of life, empathy and humbleness.

So I'm going to share with you a bit of my life's most toughest tries.

5 years ago this summer my little brother died 7 days before his birthday, me an my whole family where devastated, but most and most of all, my mom, whom couldn't live with this burden and all that she wanted wast to go see him again in heaven. 8 months later her wish head come true, and at 7 days before her birthday she passed away also.

Two weeks after her funeral something terrible had happened to my dad, I won't give a lot o details about this, he was brutally beaten by a neighbor who suspected us of doin something to him that we didn't.

Luckily after two weeks in the hospital he recovered and he's fine.

Now all I want to say is that even though these where the most toughest years that I head in my entire life, I almost lost it, i was a step away from loosing my mind and also my life. But I didn't. Eventually I got over it, because with the only power I head left I choose at looking at the soothing light at the end of my tunnel.

I thank the Great Architect every day for this experiences and if I could wouldn't change anything. Because this experiences made me the man I am today, I learned a great deal about life, compassion and empathy. I grew a great deal and for that I am most grateful.

Now, one of the most difficult challenges I head was dealing with this person that did what he did to my dad. That was one of the most difficult tasks I have ever head. Because to be honest with you, long after this incident I head very dark thoughts on how should I deal with him, I was consumed by anger, I was dreaming about pulling his eyes out with my own hands, putting him in a wheel chair for the rest of his life and so one. So the biggest fight I have head on this matter was with myself, because if I would have done all this things, then I wouldn't have been any different than him. I would have become the same monster and I just couldn't let that happen.

So I guess this is one of the most important lesson in life when it comes to humbleness and turning the other cheek, I did it, and I did it all the way. And after all of this things I became a better and wiser person and for that I am most grateful.

I chose to see the goodness hidden in the darkness of the night, and to understand that sometimes we can only really grow through deep suffering so that we can truly understand happiness. I know that I was gives this things because I deserved them, all of them, and because someone out there cares about me a great deal and he only wants my well-being. But you know, we always get what we want but not in the way that we would expect it.

So all I'm trying to say to everyone who as the eyes to see and the ears to listen: no matter how hard life cand be, it's always for you own good, and bad things don't happen because God hates you, they happen because he loves you deeply and unconditionally. But this is not an easy thing to truly understand.

Peace and wisdom to you all! <3
