Life is like a bed of roses, you get attracted by its pinky colour, its soothing and exhilarating scent and you lie on it with a prodigious mindset to have a comforting bed but the thorns sting deeply into the skin. You become exasperated by the pain, which in turn makes you a militant. You become subjective towards life situations and people's opinion and reaction. Men scorn you not knowing the trauma and psychological pain you have and have been subjected to.

My reader is either you are one of those scorned by men due to what the bed of roses has made you or you are one of those that scorn men. To the former, I want you to develop deaf ears to those judgemental and discouraging words that makes your life paradoxical and ironic of the real you. They make you feel you irrelevant, useless and ugly, just because they envy the great person you are becoming. They want to stop you from developing and using your potentials, they want to stop you from progressing on the path of progress you are treading. They want you to feel inferior to them, they want you to be emotionally unstable so you can be subjected to them. They are trying to torture you psychologically so you won't aim for personal development. My friend, since you know the reasons, will you still continue to be enslaved to the selfish backbiters, will you still allow yourself to be hypnotised by them and remain subjected to their delusion. Free yourself by making sure you turn deaf ears to them, be blind to their attitude. Don't let them dictate your life henceforth, if they have nothing to offer you break lose of their bond, if they are adding no value to your life let them remain in the valley of stagnancy as you walk your way up to the peak of greatness and success.


To the later, before you judge people, their actions and reactions, put yourself in the same circumstance and condition they are and imagine if you would have done better. Think of those times when you likewise failed, think of those times when you also made mistakes, think of those periods when you had nothing and when you were nothing. Think! Think! Think! Try to understand, try to see things differently with the eyes of your plain mind and conscience. Realised the victim is just a man like you, you could have been the victim. Don't be quick to use the sword, instead use the word WHY?

Many challenges we face, many problems and calamities are the thorns to make us stronger and beautiful. They protect our lives in ways we can't comprehend, so don't think your life has ended because of the enormous challenges and problems you are facing. As you go through the stem of thorns just know that at the peak stands the sweet rose. This Life will never cease to be a bed of roses, but will can only make it better if will can patiently faced the thorns and remove them. Know your thorns and face THEM.
