Contest : The Lesson I Learned The Hard Way
Assalam-o-Aliakum Friends.
So let's start.🍀
🍀.How open are you to learning, are you teachable?
Yes, I am always open to learning and I love learning new things. It is in the nature of a person whether he likes new things or not. I remember that when I was young and when old people were told something, they considered it an insult to me and they used to say, "Don't do these new-fashioned things to us.And don't tell us all this, we are not here to learn from you, nor do you know more than us."
And then I thought that when I grow up i never fo that and now my children teach me new things, I will learn every single day. I still have the same habit today. When my children teach me something new or i pick something interesting from my cellphone , I immediately apply it to my life because life is all about moving forward.Because even stagnant water can cause a place to stink, so moving is life.
🍀.What is that lesson you learned the hard way.
One thing I have learned the hard way in life is that not everyone who smiles at you, sits with you, or eats at the same table with you is necessarily your well-wisher. I have been cheated on a number of times, which is why I don't trust anyone. I have experienced this in my own life. I always liked to sit with good people and I was with such people. But when I got married, my experience with such people was that they were sitting at the same table with me but hold grudges about me very badly . Their attitude towards me from behind was the same as maybe even enemies would not treat anyone. So when I learned this, my heart was quite sad. It was not in my nature to take revenge on them, so I thought it was better to distance myself from them.
🍀.Do you think learning it that way made you a better person today.
Yes, at that time, the things taught seemed difficult to me, but now I understand how important they were for my soul. Those things were hurting me a lot and I didn't want those things to ever break my heart, but my heart was breaking. When I distanced myself from them, I saw that my environment was very helpful and peaceful. The problem was that the family problems were now affecting my personal life, that is, my married life, and somewhere or other, I started losing my husband, my children, and myself. That is, the people sitting at the table with me, that is, my husband's siblings, who used to hate me, suddenly started hating me even more, which made things very bad for me. Either I let my married life go or I let them go, so I decided to let them know and left my house with my husband and kids its hard decision but somehow its hard to learn that not every smiling person can be your friend.
It's not easy when you find out people you think loves you are actually pretending. What you learned the hard way was helpful. At least leaving the family house with your husband and children will give you peace of mind. Nice writing!
