Human beings are not born to be free
from suffering, nor are we born to live sinless lives! We are simply, “not perfect”! No reason anyway, not to
try and live “humble in suffering”. Most people would want to lead a LIFE OF HUMILITY, only when life seems
to be GOOD to them, and would not
hesitate to start crying and lamenting as soon as trouble starts to rear its
ugly head in their daily engagements. Some people would go as far as curse
their life and blame others for their woes, or even lay the blame in GOD!
Remember the story of Job in the Bible? (JOB 3: 1 “After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his
birth”……) In the end, after so much suffering Job was able to
triumph because he accepted the will of God, accepted his weakness as a human being
but remained humble even in the face of suffering,
ridicule, alienation and humiliation from others including close friends and
indeed his own wife! Job remained steadfast in his belief in humility,
perseverance and not accepting to give up hope, shun good and embrace evil!
In
moments of tribulations, humans are
likely to stray and commit wrongs just so as to try and maintain their lives of
luxury by whatever means necessary, even at the cost of others’ lives, if not their own lives! Life
is full of challenges and every good thing has its bad side! There is evil
lurking in the dark corners of life in every good that you do, waiting to
pounce on you and unleash what may seem as insurmountable barricades. We cannot
afford to lose our human sanity and the sanctity of life by allowing miseries
to take control of our lives. We must always be humble and offer appreciation for
the good life that we may be living and not be vain, pompous, proud and
arrogant. Stop complaining whenever you feel like life is not BEING FAIR to you! Your basketful of hardships could never
compare to other peoples container loads of problems! Whatever we do in life we
must always be prepared to counter the hurdles thrown into our way. Life is an
endless struggle that can only be neutralized by humility. Be good, do good, always
and learn to be humble, patient and never lose hope!
