Something To Think About.

The man doesn't know that there is a snake underneath.
The woman doesn't know that there is a stone crushing the man.
The woman thinks: “I am going to fall! and I can't climb because the snake is going to bite me! Why can't the man use a little more strengh and pull me up!"
The man thinks: “I am in so much pain! Yet I'm still pulling you as much as I can! why don't you try and climb a little harder?!" The moral is: You can't see the pressure the other person is under, and the other person can't see pain that you're in.
This is life, no matter whether it's with work, family, feelings or friends we should try to understand each other.
Learn to think differently, perhaps more clearly and communicate better.
A little thought and patience goes a long way

Re: Something To Think About.

Isn’t this much of the problem of the world we live in today? Often nobody considers anyone else. There is no time for others, many people are just too busy, busy in their own bubble, in their own lives. The world has become, in some ways, a very selfish place. The ‘I am alright Jack’ brigade is alive and well, they don’t seem to see what this is doing in general to all who inhabit this planet, themselves included. ‘What goes around comes around’ is a saying worth remembering as is ‘cause and effect’, ‘karma’ and all that means etc.

Re: Something To Think About.

When l was younger, I said to an elderly, lady, who looked really well. How well, she looked.
She replied, ‘l might look well on the outside but on the inside l am suffering and l’m in pain’.

That taught me a lot that day, to be more considerate of how others are feeling inside.

Re: Something To Think About.

One of the reasons why I consider all of the possibilities before slagging someone off....Some things are not always as they seem at first glance...

That's a good thing to remember OGF but difficult sometimes - for me it is anyway.
