Multiple Circles of Life

By Sunny O. Aibuki

The life we live has no duplicate; the desire to experience a meaningful and purposeful life can be an innate desire for many people. Our day-to-day existence on earth is not without challenges that unexpectedly come our way which sometimes we do or do not have control over. At every stage in our life, we are either making decisions or been told what to do. Both ways, the choices we make shape our character and attitude along the line and occasionally we are judged by these decisions.

This book focuses on what friendship stands for, how friends can influence our decisions and vice versa. It highlights unique stages of friendship and how not to sustain a relationship that ought to end without provoking strife or anger because every relationship has a lifespan. It centers on how you can gain strength in weaknesses and maintaining positive posture in the midst of uncertainties derived from biblical principles.

CHAPTER I

HUMAN, ARGUMENT & STRIFE

The dynamics of human coexistence are distinctive and can sometimes be a bit complex especially in the area of dealing with people’s differences. One of the biggest challenges we all face as a human being is getting along with one another perhaps due to our background differences, abilities, personalities, beliefs and temperamental demeanour. You will agree with me that we are all created in God’s image with different dispositions and conducts. We are likely to make unconventional choices and views on how we feel about certain issues affecting us either directly or indirectly.

The choices or decisions we make in life could be specific or exclusive of what other people feel or think about the same issues. Sometimes, and too often, if someone differs in opinion on any conscientious issues that we are passionate about, there are reasonable probabilities that we might not be ecstatic or agree with such individual or ‘set’ of people. As confusing as this may sound, this ‘set’ of people are despitefully less appreciated and sometimes undervalued. We rarely want to see eye to eye with them. Their appearances or memories could strike a bad chord, and we are likely to bend out of shape in ensuring they do not dominate our personal space or earn our discussion time.

However, for the fact that people do not agree with us or take our side does not automatically mean that we are right and they are incorrect. The one thing we are missing out here or overlooking is the difference in opinion and attitude about how we see the same thing in a different way. A person standing at the top of the letter 6 and another person standing at the bottom of the same letter will see the same thing but a different result. How do I mean? The person standing at one end will see letter 6 whilst the person at the other end will see number 9. Same image, same letter, but different points of view.

When envy and strife have made it far, the next step in this sequence of events becomes inevitable

It takes exceptional courage and mindful maturity not to start any unnecessary argument over little issues. Intelligent People will be careful in such and will not go about wasting their limited time or hanging around to strike
