Stand for Yourself

How strong are you in terms of your mental health? Do you have the ability to digest whatever comes your way? Luckily, I do have that ability to hold me strong in terms of a mental breakdown. In fact, sometimes I feel like I'm being foolish by tackling them so easily, because situations like these have the ability to set fire to our ambitions or dreams.

Those who are bad at handling mental breakdowns, do take help from the cooperative behaviors of their surroundings to overcome. What if those surroundings make it worse? Backfires on you?

So recently, I saw someone going through some shitty situation. That person approached someone to share the situation with a hope of some cooperative behavior. But in return, that person got such replies that made the suffering twice as much as before. If we can't show love or care then we must hold the minimum respect as the person didn’t cause us any harm. We tend to forget that our tongue is the most dangerous weapon. In my religion, there has been a saying that one of the most obvious reasons to go to hell would be the fault of our tongue. The misuse of our tongues would be the one of the two biggest reasons for us to be led to hell.

I was so offended by these things that I felt like confronting that person but later I felt like showing the minimum respect and let that go and consoled the other guy for that situation that he was going through. I had chosen peace instead of violence, these choices sometimes make me proud of myself, lol. My point is that, if we can't help then let's not make it worse intentionally. Only the devils get peace by making others suffer, we are humans, not devils.

Personally, what I feel is that instead of searching for someone to help us ease our pains we must be that someone for ourselves. Yeah, be your own escort, and don't get dependent on such matters especially those that can backfire easily. These are our vulnerable situations, if the person we are trying to hold is not pure enough to value this then you gonna fall hard for sure. I would say, just take a break, if you wanna cry then do it and see nothing gets better. If someone can help for real then approach towards them otherwise just help yourself, this is the best I would insist.

From the moment you start to stand up for yourself, nothing can make you fall. You stand still during the storms as well. Well, if you have someone to rely on truly then that's a blessing, I don't have that and that's why I don't even bother.

Have a great day,
Peace!!
