Sat With Ree: Choose To Be Good

Each one of us has our own unique ways on how we respond with things that are happening around us. On the other hand, some people have set their expectation on how we're supposed to react on a certain thing. And when we failed to react the way we're "supposed" to react, that's when they begin to give their unwanted opinion. I know that we all have the liberty to give opinions, but why? Is it really necessary? Don't you have anything more important to do with your life?

The things that make us happy don't make other people happy and vice versa. The things that make other people sad don't make us sad and vice versa. There are things that we value the most, but to others they serve a little or no importance. There are also some things that annoy us, but to other people they don't even care in the slightest. The things that disappoint us don't even make sense to others. There are things that might seem scary for us that other people find amusing. The things that we find funny other people find boring. You can't expect other people to care like you do because each one of us has our own different love language. 

As we grow older we also outgrow certain things from our life. We outgrow things and sometimes we even outgrow people. That's what people need to understand. Some of us are already different person from the person we used to be 5 years ago. We don't have the right to make choices for other people. We can't force someone to pick apple juice just because that's what we thought was their favorite, well in fact they prefer orange juice now. You don't fully know someone because in one way or another they change. The person you once knew doesn't exist already. People evolve. That's why it's important that you don't put words in their mouth just because you thought you knew them too well. 😒

What I'm trying to say is that people shouldn't decide for others— what they're supposed to eat, drink, wear, think, react or even say. We're already in the 21st century, but some people still need to learn how to mind their own business. Isn't it more peaceful when you don't care what other people do especially when it doesn't concern you? I used to care about a lot of things before, but thank God because eventually I learned not waste my time reacting on things that doesn't concern or affecting me. It is really necessary to just let things be and let people do what they want to do, eat what they want to eat, say what they want to say and think what they want to think. Some people still need to learn how to respect our own differences. We can't decide for other people the same way that they can't decide for us. 

Do not pretend that you know a person all too well because at the end of the day they only show you what they choose to show you, and at the same time you only see what you choose to see in a person whether it's good or bad. 

Do what you want to do, react how you want to react, say what you want to say because people has always something to say about you. But always remember that whatever you choose to say, do, or how you respond on things, make sure that you always choose the good ones. If you know that you are doing or saying the good things you won't even bother to care what everyone thinks about you. Sometimes it's not about being right, it's about doing good.
