The more they stay the same..or so the saying goes..
I was feeling quite introspective today as I was pondering over the goings-on in our family. What came to mind was how very true the simple teachings we were taught when we were still young. Among those, we were taught that whenever we did something wrong, we were taught early on that we had to say “I’m sorry…” Even to the point of mimicking our parents, we were taught that whenever we were at fault, we had to apologize.
During those times, there was no such thing as pride. If you were at fault, you had to apologize. It was as simple as that.
As we got older, and as our eyes were slowly opened to the realities of life, and when we sometimes feel as though we can stand on our own, we sometimes become guilty of this thing they call “pride”. Even though we are at fault, sometimes we find it hard to extend an apologizing hand first.
Sometimes I wish you could see through my eyes. I wanna take you back to the time not so long ago. When they would not allow as much as a fly to land on your skin. When they did all that they could do just so no harm would come to you.
Before you start pointing fingers, we must ask ourselves, have we taken a look at the mirror lately?
