Putting Differences Aside

Some of us may have people who we don’t get along well with at work, the gym or home; the relationship is like proverbial oil on water.

Now, I will ask you this question: If any of those people were to get into an accident on the road, would you lend them your assistance? Or, would you rejoice in their mishap?

In many instances, people who were not speaking to each other placed their differences aside when the other party was faced with some type of adversity, such as a flood or a fire.

Many people would normally come together in times of crises to help each other out; we have seen just that after neighbourhoods and cities were severely affected by hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters.

I am of the opinion that we shouldn’t wait for a crisis to put aside our differences. For our own sakes, we might as well do it NOW!

  1. Most of the time I would go and help, although one person, I’d try and make sure the damage substantial. This person hurt my kids and they still have nightmares today. Had it been just me they hurt, I would help them. But nobody hurts my kids. Doesn’t matter how old they become, they will always be my little children.

    • [ Smiles ] Alastair, your reaction is typical of any parent. However, we all need to learn how to forgive those who transgressed towards our loved ones.

      I appreciate your honesty and thank you for sharing your perspective.

      • Your welcome. Unfortunately, this person also made death threats to me and my son. So, there can never be any forgiveness there.

  2. I could never not help someone who needed help. However, I know a few people that would refuse the help of someone they disliked. so sad.

  3. I truly love your insights and the subjects you briing up Renaud; they are both relevant and thought provoking. I have a book of daily meditations that speak to things of this sort. Today’s thought was “The person you resent probably isn’t even aware of it.” Probably a little off the mark of your point. Just speaks to the poison of what you were speaking to; it sullies the connections we should all have naturally towards one another. Always a pleasure!

      • It’s my pleasure. As soon as I complete some more of my content, I hope to slow down and enjoy more personal reflections and reading more blogs like yours.

  4. I would for sure help anybody in an accident, but in fact I wont have a connection with anybody. I expand my circles with people who fit to me. That is in my opinion better and less drama. Something I learned to keep my life sorted. But as said.. I would help anybody in a case of an accident or what ever.
