The stage is set...for one of your own to come on. With all of the great aplomb your own has just bungled it again. This time, it is really painful because it was after a third chance for your own to make amends. You have been let down once more. And this time it’s one too many. Your own has tipped you over. He has become a write off. For all you care ‘He can ...off’.
Ooh! That was really hard. ‘’It doesn’t matter,” you say. He can take a walk ‘for all you care’. You have had enough of the valleys and hills to ‘no where’ in your friend’s life. “Enough is enough”. And off you go and leave your friend in his ‘nemesis’.
But if you’ll just hold on, when do you think is the best time to love somebody the most? I mean to be there ...for your own? Is it when yours is all straightened out and all together or when it is all tangled up and pathetic with your pal? Is when somebody’s done good and made things easy for everybody and you? Is that what you think?
A man’s valleys and hills are dreadful moments. They are moments when his hopes and dreams come crashing in his face. And he can’t even decide which part represents honour and which part represents dishonour. Getting by through any means seems to be the most reasonable option. Dignity and pride are at the lowest ebb. That is when your own becomes a toothless rat, stripped bare of anything that made him a man. He is on his knees and there is nothing left ,of him, to love.
And leaving him to all of these misfortunes can be a bigger blow than the let down itself. If there was to be any silver lining in the sky, they will be very bleak to him...since there was no you to point them at them for him. Deciding to ditch your friend and taking your love along with you will be wise...only if you think love is all about red roses. And of course...you are inconsiderate. And you are not done learning.
There is always something left to love. Cry for your friend. Send out a prayer on his behalf...for what he has been through. And for what his ‘been throughs’ have done to him. Show your friend the strength.
The time to love the most is when your own is at his lowest and can’t believe in himself because his ‘been throughs’ and the world around him left him spineless.
Measuring your own by his failures only can present you to be very selfish and lacking wisdom. When you start to measure somebody, it is good that you measure right. Measure your own right. Ensure that you take into account all the hills and valleys that your own has come through before he bungled things up...again.
