Let Go!

Hi friends, welcome to my blog. Today I feel like sharing something I learnt while watching a movie recently. I think it's the reality of many out there who are hurting as a result of a bad or negative occurrence. The movie I watched introduces a young woman who was so mean , harsh and got angry at the slightest provocation.

At first I wasn't liking the whole drama from the beginning of the movie because the movie started with her mean act. It began with a scene where she had to verbally and physically abuse her domestic staff. You can tell that the maid was really frustrated, yet she managed to keep her cool.

The maid eventually left , she got another which didn't last more than a day because they just couldnt keep up with the woman. She needed help around the house but could not still put up with any of them because of her attitude to them which was quite hostile.

This continued until her mother came visiting one day but left angrily and sad because her daughter was already a shadow of herself. She was angry about everything and everyone. Every close fellow around her has gone, she pushed them out of her life by her attitude.

I got to find out later in the movie that she was hurting. She didnt know how best to manage it so she decided to transfer the aggression on everyone around her, her husband also felt the heat but she was all he's got left and would not let go.

A particular maid came in and changed everything. She found out this maid was different, she withstood all her hostility and always wear a smile. This puzzled this woman and prompted her to ask why the maid was always happy and cheerful in spite of all she is going through around the house with her.

She (the maid) then mentioned that she is just grateful, for life, for a roof over her head and food to eat daily. This alone makes her day and causes her to be cheerful and appreciative to God. When asked about her family, she said he lost all of them to the bandits that invaded her village.

This came as a shock to the young woman, she was surprised that somebody like this still finds reason to live her life like nothing had happened. She was puzzled that in spite of all these she is still cheerful. She had only lost two kids and her womb in an accident two years ago and her whole life was upside down already.

She became bitter as a result of that experience, and felt life was not worth living, she chose to vent her anger on everyone instead, her "humanity" died in the process, she lost touch with life, having no pleasant feeling except bitterness. On hearing the story of this maid, she broke down in tears because she felt the magnitude of what befell the maid is more than what befell her.

Gradually, she began to change, the experience birthed a transformation inside of her that became noticeable by everyone around her. Bitterness faded away unannounced. Tenderness and love invaded her space when she decided to let go of that past hurt that has plagued her your two years.

The unpleasant situation people go through can mar them if not well handled and innocent people around such fellow suffer for no reason because they are trying to give expression to that corrupted emotions due to their pain.

Let us let go of the past so it doesn't rob us of ehat is ahead. A whole lot lie ahead that would bring so much succur to your soul. Thanks for reading.
