It's one thing when someone tells me I'm wrong. To find out myself however is dead cruel. God has funny ways opening up my eyes.
Enter K. I hate this person. The person had everything that I could only dream I could have. The car, the beautiful companion, the house, the money. I hated this person, secretly but the hate was genuine.
It was ages ago when all of this started when the person I most was most interested in decided to go ahead and did the "relationship" thing with K. I was very much disappointed, not that I did anything to stop this but I would hope this person would have at least chose someone else. Jealousy.
However I found myself having to spend some time last week with K. This involves talking and eating on the same table. I can't believe my luck. Isn't it enough to punish me everyday and now this?
.
After a few cups of tea and found this K is somewhat likeable. Yeah likeable not lovable.
We hung out for a while and I found no reason why I should hate him, I did not like him any better but I definitely did not hate this person. In fact I found myself reasoning on why he had all the things he had and I why I'm still here working hard for it. I respect him for that and that was that.
It was a great and important reflection. I've managed to see myself clearly. I've never pictured myself to be in a wrong without realising it, but the reality is I was in the wrong and it's time I tell myself that.
How wrong I am to be feeling the way I felt for so long. To drive the dagger deeper I watched Passion of The Christ last weekend and one of phrase that caught my attention was "If you love only those who love you, what good is that?”
Jealousy is a self-created enemy. We grew older everyday finding new things and people to hate. I've seen hate destroyed a lot of people, and it almost got me.
K was never my enemy I am my own enemy.
I have no one to thank but K, the reflection came late but the important thing is it came and it changed me a little more to become a better person.
A new day one less person to hate.
