Time and Tales

When times goes by, we grow older and wiser, we become one. We learn we cry, we laugh, we teach. We become aunties, uncles  brothers, fathers and mothers, we live and we learn. We become stronger with each passing day. There are many sad and depressing things in the world right now. Pure pain and heartache, mean and cruel people, This is what we see all around us and every where we go. We always go round and round and round, sort of like time in sand. All we hear are tales after tales after tales.

Be careful when someone is too nice to you and treats you just the way you want to be treated because, when the deal is too good, think twice. We all have gone through that at one point or another and sometimes people say that you should not believe it because then it will happen and that if something goods comes to you on your lap, then it is only right for you to grab it and run away with it. Now, I am not saying this is a bad thing and being an opportunist, I am confidently stating that I will take it and run with it. However, when you are grabbing it think of the consequences. Does the good outweigh the bad? Does the time spend to do this in a positive or negative light.

An example is that my friend, Kim, has been single for a while now and she has got used to being alone, which she has come to realise that it is easier on her than it is to be in a strenuous relationship. And recently she came to good fortune of a gentleman who showered her with attention, and was thoughtful kind and considerate. While on normal occasions a man, Kent, would never introduce you to a fellow man in terms of hooking you up, this particular man, was what is commonly referred to as godsend. Kent hooked Kim up with a thoughtful and considerate guy, she was ecstatic.

Short lived though, she came to realise that the man, Fred,  was not only immature but insensitive and unapologetic. In short, he was simply rude, mean and cruel and was only a proper gentleman for selfish purposes. You might say that my friend had to do with the sudden change in attitude for the man, but nothing doing, and I'm not saying this, just because I wasn't to take her side, she is a very naive lady and it is was easy to take advantage of her. My advice to you all, try and understand the person you are with to try and foresee the ditch you might land yourself in. For my friend, all she needed to note was that the guy in question, Fred, never mentioned names in conversations, it was always my dad, my uncle, my sister, my mother and so forth. When talking about your family in general, you will throw a name or two and then refer the relationship later. That was an oversight on her part to which she was sub conscious about but never really took it as a big deal.

  One day when Fred took his aunt to buy a microwave, he came back with a sorry mood that scared Kim and awoke her from her slumber. She realised that time is very precious and as she sat there and contemplated her next move, she was already calculating just how far  and how fast she could run  away from Fred. After all, she had no time to waste for the precious time can not be recovered. Just ask the patient who missed the ambulance by a minute.
