Minutes Of Meeting With A Blind Old Man Who Is A Victim To Jealousy

In the vast tapestry of life, we know that there are some people in this world who are filled with the venom known as “Jealousy” this is something that Satan has against human beings because we human beings are considered a superior species, which we learned through the various Abrahamic scriptures from God. It is vital for us human beings to keep reminding ourselves not only of the existence of Jealous people around us but also how to deal with their schemes in an effective and peaceful manner. Today I am going to discuss such a wise man who defied all odds in fighting such types of jealous people who have created issues for him all throughout his life, but even more saddening is the fact that this man I am going to discuss today is actually a blind old man.

But before I begin I will share a some quotes about jealousy with you all.

“Jealousy is the fear of comparison.”

By Don Draper (Mad Men) [This quote is from the fictional character Don Draper in the television series Mad Men. While he is not a historical figure but a fictional Tv character]

“As iron is eaten away by rust, so the envious are consumed by their own passion.”

By Publilius Syrus (1st century BC, Roman writer).

I have a distant relative that lives about 30 kilometers away from my house, so just a month ago I visited him. Usually whenever I visit his place, he is sitting in his room, which is on the first floor, so I had to go upstairs and meet him there. We were having a great conversation about different topics related to life, but then suddenly he opened up about his feelings with me, saying that some of his close relatives are making issues for him.

The blind relative of mine told me that I have a good house, good financial earnings, a loving family, and also a car, but the close relative of his has 4 times the wealth accumulated, yet he is simply jealous of him and wants to make his life as miserable as possible just to fuel his jealousy further for him.

At that moment of time, I looked at the blind old man and noticed that he did not want to fight or harm anyone in his life and just wanted to live the rest of his life in the comfort of his family, so because of this analysis, I told him that he had the gift of peace in his heart, and because he was so peaceful, this made his relative jealous of him.

The blind relative of mine told me that his jealous relative has successfully created problems for him by convincing his brother to go against him and also some other close relatives of him, so his tactics were to try to use his near by loved ones against him somehow and create a situation for this blind man where he is hated by his own family members.

It’s not just jealousy that makes brotherhood the worst enemy; in fact, people with low self esteem and those who cannot take any decisions on there own are the worst enemies.

Here, the blind old man had been betrayed by his own blood relation, but he never answered with anger, despite his tiredness to separate himself from everyone for the sake of his family.

This relative of mine is actually not blind by birth. He was young in his 20s when he had a motorbike accident with a truck at his doorstep, and he lost one of his eyes completely due to blood supply loss to that eye.

He later married and had kids. Then, after 5 kids, when his youngest kid was just 2 years old, he suffered retinal detachment, which led to blurred vision in the only eye with vision.

Despite all this, he continued his job. Raised his kids with the best education. Now all his kids are settled.

But still, the jealous relatives don’t leave him just because of his strength that, out of all these hurdles to this date, he is doing his best for his family.

>Never loose hope in any situations in life.

When you’re strong from inside, nothing can break you. And that’s the only reason people are jealous of this old man.

All of this conversation got me thinking: has society fallen so far behind in terms of humanity and dignity that even blind people who are considered handicapped and disabled and do not have the ability to harm other human beings are treated with in a way that people create an environment for them where they have to suffer through various means.

This is the extreme version of Jealousy I have ever witness in my life because a person should have that much human emotion to feel the pain of a blind man who is old of age at least. The question is, is this how low society has fallen? why is this kind of things happening in the world and that is where I felt really depressed and started to become emotional.

From the conversation with the Blind man who is a victim of jealousy, I learned a life lesson that god has given enough mental power for the Blind man to protect him self from the evils of the world and his good mannerism in a way protected him from people hating on him for no valid reason.

What do you guys think about this life lesson and what should the blind man do in his current situation meaning shall he retaliate in the form of a scheme or just life the rest of his life in peace with his family and wealth. I would love to know about your thoughts on this sensitive matter.
