Of Pride And Prejudices

It’s the patience that filled the glass to the brim. No one is born a superhuman. No person in this world can have the magical power to prevent the overflowing anger and frustration within.

Talking about pride and prejudices. What is pride when only the chosen lots are entitled to it? Why must there be prejudices among people when truth needs to be concealed?
Humans are supercilious beings, aren’t we? Why do we expect an individual to grit his teeth and bears with the nonsensical things falling onto him where on the other hand, we are easy to be upset with the person when he has to say what he feels with the way we have treated him? Hypocrisy! One word to say it all. Humans are always better in talking than doing the acts to prove the truth of their words. Contradictions, that are very common threats in life.

Humans are selfish. Claiming rights to everything even the universe beyond our wildest dream. Selfish to the extent that claiming rights over a person’s freedom and independence. What we think belong to others should be shared with us justly. However, we are easy to be those selfish beings when the need for us to be just comes. We sometimes refuse or reluctant to share what we think are ours. We give others restrictions, rules and regulations but when it comes to us, we expect no strings attach. Adding salt to injury, we vainly make the other party think that the rights given to us are our benefits not entitlements.

When we refuse a person for what he needs from us, we expect the person to oblige just because it is our rights. But when we are being refused with the best excuses, we think the person has hurt our pride and hence, we hold prejudices against him. Then we became the devil part of the being, we hate everything that are connected or related to him. We talk the most crudest thing about him while forgetting that we are the real devils in action.

"Oh, God! I am pleading with you, for this is among the hardest test in my life. Need I be me or be the person that I always refuse to be. When I am me, people take advantage of me but if I become the person I refuse to be, I can never derive any happiness or satisfaction from being what I refuse to be. Guide me please, God, for I am in the situation where I need to know how can I handle this without much heartbroken and sorrow."
