Trials

Trials are basically to make people stronger provided they survive through it. Some time people may wonder why do difficult times fall on people instead of a smooth-sailing life instead? One of the reason which I feel is that the people who are stucked in a difficult situation are the people more blessed by the God. Funny rite!! The reason is bcoz these people are the group which perhap God feel that they have the ability to accomplish more than they expect hence trials are for them to overcome and to become a stronger and better person. Though I may think so this way, it's not a easy task to maintain a positive mindset when trial are thrown at your face. It's always easy said than done.
Had an interesting experience today to see a conversation between a old man and a young man. The old man was accusing the young man for not being committed in his work as he never showed up for work the day before. The young man accused the old man for not giving him enough notice about the time and date of the work place. Who is right and wrong in this place? I don't know!! Each of them had their own explanation and an argument arised.
What are the things I learnt from this incident? Many a time, conflict and argument arises bcoz the communication was not properly passed through. At the same time, we often tried to put our own ideas onto others without really considering whether is it really what others want or not. Some people are too committed in their work while some are simply too slack in it. Who is right and who is wrong? There is no definite answer at this point of time. Perhaps it is due to the difference in the character or environment. The best would be for each to do their own things till both parties had come to a common understanding of what is it that they really want in their lives. One should not try to force their ideas unto others or it might simply 'backfire' instead.
What is really that one is looking for in their lives? Their purpose may seemed so close and real at times, but when they wake up from their dreams, they realized that it's a dream after all. As for me, it's time to really plan and decide what I really want to accomplish instead of being swayed about by the situation and people around me. Think it's time to make some changes.
