Good Heart, A Curse Or A Blessing

What does a ‘good person’, mean to you? Is it a selfless person? A patient person?

Goodness itself deems ‘righteousness’, there’s a world of definitions. Altruistic, thoughtful, empathetic. Being someone who has met a lot of people with varying energies, this is my definition of ‘good’.

A good person is someone who has the freedom of choice to take action that either is for his or her own selfish gain, or for the benefit of another, and frequently chooses the latter. Even if it means it leads to their own detriment. A good person has a sensitive moral compass, and even if it’s the norm to engage in affairs that cause hurt to others, a good person’s core values are stronger than their surroundings. And it is because of this reason, they suffer the most. –RB Wahab

 

We have all been there, somebody with unquestionable morals and values hurt us in a way we could not imagine doing to anyone. We are angry, we are confused, and we are torn with hurt. And yet, if life gave us the opportunity to do the same to them, we could not bring ourselves to it. So we revolt, at the idea that it takes a special kind of evil to hurt someone like this. And you don’t want to forgive them, but you know you will, because you’re haunted by your conscience. So you torture yourself with this ridiculous limbo, of two conflicting ideas of “I want to hurt you back,” and “I do not want to cause pain to someone,”.

Yes, we have all been there. Not just that, it took me many years to realize that us “good people,” have seriously sold ourselves short. In high school, mean girls and f*ck boys seemed to run the show. And we let them, and we get in relationships and friendships with them, and we let them kick us around like foot balls. Why do you do this to yourselves? This is a major question I asked myself.

It took a long time for me to realize how evil works. It views righteousness as something weak and pathetic. But in reality, it takes great courage to be a good person. It is so easy to give in to your temporary feelings, to worship your ego, to walk all over people. This is way too easy. It is so HARD to be the bigger person, to cry and not let them see, to walk away and let it be, to not cause any pain back.

So why have we as a society fuelled this idea that “goodness” is a weak thing, when it is perhaps the greatest thing that ever existed. All you have done is justified nasty actions by nasty people, when it is them who are the weak ones, not you. You are a gem, a beautiful gem, a rare commodity in this world. And you really need to open your eyes and see that, but how can you when you’ve been conditioned to believe the opposite- by people who are so full of shit- the only way they can fill the void in themselves is hurting vulnerable people like you?

Good hearts- they’re the ones you go to when you need help, the comfort you need when you feel lonely, the reliable ones when you’re in trouble, the healers and the empaths, the friends who lift your spirits when you’ve lost the will for everything. And it is about time the world learnt to appreciate people like this.

Do NOT feel ashamed of being a nice person, you are one of God’s most beautiful creations, and not believing in that will only let people who have oppressed you- WIN. Your tears are counted and your patience will pay off, you just need to hang in there baby. Good hearts always triumph in the end, it is not you who has lost, it’s the ones who exploited your pure nature who have lost, all they will end up with is crowd just as full of shit like them. So, chin up, all the love you gave out will find its way back to you I promise.

With love, RB.

My Rendezvous With Life

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

For I chose to befriend the walk that marked the

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

The Power of Understanding Your Love Language

Love is the purest emotion one feels towards themselves and another individual. While the expression of love can vary in its entirety from one person to another, the care we hold for the ones we love shares an undeniable impact on how we forge our perceptions of interpersonal relationships. The way we communicate our feelings to someone also says a lot about how we are wired, the method of conveying our affection to our beloved ones is called a love language. You may express affection to the one you love regularly, but do you take the time to ensure that you are communicating it in the way that the other person prefers? Even love can become lost in translation when two individuals speak different love languages.

The Beauty Of Gratitude In A World Full Of Cynicism

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
