Most of the time we listen to everything to what others ,we become blind spectators to what others say sometimes we become yes man saying yes to everything sitting silently as if nothing affects us ,why do we do this is it fair on our part to sit silently and listen to everything .
When we have done no wrong why should we listen to everything, take charge of your life, we can’t go on pleasing others and become a puppet. Did Arjuna sit, did he not fight his war knowing that he had to kill his own kin.
Life is all about making the right choices and upholding our value system let what may come we need to stick to our ideals without compromising our values.
Most of these people know they’re doing the wrong thing and will back down surprisingly quickly when confronted. In most social settings people tend to keep quiet until one person speaks up, so SPEAK UP.
The boy and father !
Mr. James was a very disciplined person wants everything prefect in his life ,he had a son named Richard who was five years old and a wife ,his wife would do everything to keep the man happy one day his wife got busy with some other chores and the coffee was delayed he flung the coffee on the floor ,his wife had to listen to his scolding’s as well as had to clean up the mess ,the son Richard was a spectator to this scene ,and was shocked .Dad I hate you what did you do to mom .Mr. James had to leave to his office as he was getting delayed ,he went off driving very rashly he was caught by the police ,he had to pay fine .when he reached office it was late he got screwed by the boss. He couldn’t concentrate as his son’s word was pricking him dad i hate you this was the only thing that was whirling in his mind. He came with a heavy heart and apologized his wife first and then his boy .If the boy wouldn’t have spoken up that day maybe the father wouldn’t realize his mistake.
We need to speak up when it is necessary otherwise we become victim of that situation or the circumstance, when a small boy can speak up for the wrong that is happening around him why can’t we.
We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak. -Epictetus
Your dignity may be attacked, ravaged and disgracefully mocked, but it can never be taken away unless you willingly surrender it. It’s all about finding the strength to defend your boundaries. Demonstrate that you won’t be insulted or belittled.
Sometimes it makes sense to be sympathetic with toxic people whom you know are going through a difficult time, or those who are suffering from an illness. There’s no question about it, some toxic people are genuinely distressed, depressed, or even mentally and physically ill, but you still need to separate their legitimate issues from how they behave toward you.
We need to be a fighter to fight for the unknown circumstance that might attack us without our knowledge so be prepared and be ever ready to speak up. No one can speak for us.
