Not everything is going to be all right
The song we’ve loved and still sing along when we sometimes reach the difficult point in our lives is one and only by Bob Marley. “don’t worry about these things, cos every little thing, is gonna be alright”. The message and motive behind the song are really inspiring. I sing that song most of the time when I feel down. It will just come up in the middle of nowhere. Preachers might have used it several times and other musicians, of course giving credit to the legend, Bob Marley. Here is the thing though, you have to drink that pill no matter how difficult it is to swallow. Not everything you go through is going to be alright.
You will soon get used to some situations. One way or another you will get over of any circumstances that seem to not show any changes. Maturity is when you realize that certain things don’t really matter and things that didn’t make sense eventually make it over time. Perhaps, Bob Marley had that in mind too. That this too shall pass. You will get over it. Things that use to matter won't later in life. When one lady once said, “not all of you are going to get married”, I thought to myself well that’s so sad to hear. It is hard to take when everyone in the circle wishes to get married one day. The fact is you might not be the marriage material or sharing space with someone else is a challenge with you. It doesn’t mean you cannot get married or fall in love.
Not everything we wish to happen in our lives is going to become. Soon you will get to a point of giving up in front of the quote, “never give up”. Maybe it should be, “never give up so early”. Have you ever noticed that your best friend, partner or even your spouse hardly agrees with everything you say? It is because they have come to a point of knowing you that it’s either you are stubborn, take time to register some of the other people’s view. They have decided to live with you that way. They are not hoping you change. They are hoping you remain their friends regardless. You open up people intellects sometimes when you seem to be the one that takes longer in getting a point passed across.
In life, you’ll soon be matured enough to understand it is not always about you. You will also learn to quit at the appropriate time at least life experience have taught you so many things. Things will work out as you work on them on a daily basis. Some will turn out to be good ideas. Others bad ones. Only when you have tried to implement. It is after several attempts that you realize it’s not working. Not everything works the first time. I was not alright when my late brother passed away, then my father and last my sister. Over time, I had to accept the fact that they will never come back. I must just move on with life. Nothing is alright about death at all. There is no guarantee that I will be fine if my partner dies, mother and children. So not everything is going to be alright but through experience, one get’s over it.
Going to some Churches and you are asked to accept Jesus and everything will be alright. Depressed later the promises unfulfilled. Ok, that’s not anyone’s fault you believed that because Jesus himself once said, “in this world you will have so many troubles”. The myth that all things will fall into place, where did we get it? It is just an example. Some of the problems won’t really be resolved. Why do we still have rape charges recorded on daily basis, murder and so on and on? It is not to say let’s get used to crime. Let’s curb it. We’ll have a better way of reacting to the situation as we mature in life. To say everything is going to be alright is not enough.
I just spoke to my colleague to just swallow that pill as his Manchester United got beaten by Barcelona. I didn’t say everything is going to be alright. He lost. That’s it. Because he’s faced so many defeats before he didn’t take it personally as time passed he was ok. So nothing alright his team lost but because he’s no stranger to a loss, he’s fine.
