Whoever sows injustice reaps calamity, and the rod they wield will be broken. -King Solomon (Proverbs 22:8 NIV)
That wisdom makes me understand Critical thinking. It is a kind of thinking in which you question, analyse, interpret, evaluate and make a judgement about what you read, hear, say, or write.
Do you ever wonder why some people want to bring you down. They tell you what you need to do (to be approved). One wonders, “Do I look dumb or stupid?”
Imagine married to one. Like a dog with a bone.
Someone wrote –
Everybody wants to take you down. The whole world wants to show you that you are not good enough for it. They will hit you so hard that every time you say a word, they break you apart. They’ll tear you apart. You are unable to get up throughout. You are lying face down, sweat and blood tricking down your forehead. In all the pain, you see the sun setting down right in front of your eyes further signifying the loss.
You start believing that you have let everyone down. You lose faith in yourself. A loser image is all you see. Fallen down, broken, unable to get up, and this way they beat you down.
My goodness,, they were good.
We all are on a consensus and complete approval that they were gracious in at least allowing you to live.
You count your last breath waiting for someone to pick you up. No one comes forward.
People are rather happy that you are down. They always envied you. They hated your brilliance. They watch you setting down with the sun. You are beaten. They were successful in their attempt.
But were they????
They are all laughing at you. But it’s not over.
You take a deep breath once, and try to get up. They punch you hard. You get back up again. They punch you again. YOU GET UP AGAIN. They hit you harder and better. But oh you…
You know how strong you are. They’ve never seen a monster in their lives. BUT you show them, how its like to face a monster. You are unable to feel the pain anymore. They are all bewildered. They are afraid. They are tired of hitting you. They know you’ve become invincible.
Every time they tried to get you down, you only became stronger.
Stronger than their wildest dreams, their wildest fears. They start fleeing. They don’t want to mess with you.
You are a warrior they had created.
You know what you want now, and how powerful you are.
