BUILDING BETTER HABITS

Matters, which are not yours are not yours. If you are in the community and people in the community are having their own differences, you have no business interfering. Do not interfere in matters that you do not understand. You are out of context here. And don’t even be cheated by the frenzy mood surrounding the differences. There are deep-seated things about this event that you do not understand. There is trouble in the event. The mere fact that everyone in the community has joined the scene does not approve your presence there. This event is not a party. Instead, this event is a hot brewing pot of trouble. Trouble that could change the course of your life. The content, which is the result of this difference has not been laid bare. There is so much that you don't know. If things haven't been made clear, there is a bad motive behind it. There a potential huge problem in the event.

People might be enjoying the scene. The mess could be entertaining. The persons involved could be posturing their egos. And perhaps, participating in the event for bragging rights. However, there is more mess than what you are seeing on the surface. Stay out of trouble. The noise could be your kind of thing. The fracas and even the dirty-talk in the event could also be interesting. But there is something you are not seeing. There is potential of a big problem that almost everyone is missing. When trouble courts you, it does not come shouting. It comes as some of the coolest things you want. It is disguised in the fun, laughter, and some sweet conversations. Even the crowd could be confusing. Almost everyone in the community has come out to witness the commotion. You feel a sense of belonging. You feel comfortable.

You are thinking that if, all these people are out here, the risks could be minimal. The crowd wants to trick you to join the bystander. Don’t be naïve. There is something big about the whole event and the growing population. The people that started it all are saying nothing. The approach that they chose is saying nothing. Why did the participants choose to attract this huge attention when they knew there is looming danger somewhere? Note that things change very quickly in scenarios like that. You just don’t want to be the one caught in the middle. You don’t want to be the sacrificial lamb. You want to protect your life. You want to be as far away as, possible from the scene. Being as far away as possible, is your responsibility. Your responsibility to keep your life safe. You don’t want to be harmed.

The scene could be like something you occasionally enjoy. But there is nothing to enjoy in this event. Something is about to explode. Get out of trouble. Stay away from matters that do not concern you. Let the community squabble as the community. People involved in the fight know why they are fighting. You are just a passerby. You don’t know the genesis of the issues that bore this event. You don’t have history of the people involved in the commotion. The chatter going on is not enough information. Go home. Proceed to your destination. You have no business standing there. There is nothing you are listening to in the event. Don’t develop interest while listening. You had something else that needed your attention ten minutes ago. Go ahead and attend to that matter. Leave the community alone.

If, other people want to spend their time this way, you are not these people. Find something else. There was somewhere you were going before you were attracted to this matter. There was something in your mind. Remember that something. Go read a book. Stop getting comfortable in a melting pot of trouble. Protect your freedom. Don’t stay in dangerous environment. Don’t stay around because everyone you know is around. Accept that the noise captured your attention. However, after making sense of the situation, the right course of action is to leave. You must leave. You are leaving not because you don’t want to be involved with other people’s business, you are leaving because that is the right thing to do in the moment. After all, you found the issue in the middle. There are people who were there from the beginning. You are not those people. Get out of there.

You did not plan to participate in events of this nature. You were a passerby. Your attention could have been captured but you have no business here. You are not the right person for this situation. You cannot stop a matter that has already summoned an entire community. The elements in the event are not good. The onlookers are also not good for you. If, at all, someone wanted to speak sense in the matter, it should have happened before you arrived. But the problem is now advanced. Parties have been formed. The main ingredients in the party are in the center. The posturing fellows are already at the center. They have already created a free revelry. And people who love these types of parties have gathered. They want the entertainment. They are not leaving until they are served. And active agents in the party actually want to serve the audience.

They are arguing. They are pushing each other. they are reaping each other apart. Names are being dropped. They are yelling. They are acting beyond crazy. Participants are already triggered. They will explode soon. You cannot stop this kind of matter. A voice of reason is not needed here. Nobody is interested in that voice. No one is seeking wisdom right now. And you will look like a fool offering one. People are not listening. People are instead, loving the madness. They want to see something happen. In fact, you will create a bad day by ending the mess. This problem is not your call. Stay out of trouble. Go mind your business somewhere else. Carry your lessons from the scene and go apply them from very far. Take your wisdom away from this place. This is not your problem. You just don’t know a lot of things.

Go solve problems that you know. Your own problems. But don’t join matters that are not yours. Don’t join fights that are not yours. There is something below that surface. Something is simmering down there. You don’t want to get burnt. You don’t want to nurse injuries. You also don’t want to be a casualty by association. Lead your life out of there. Find something else to do. Stop shouting. Stop laughing. Stop getting entertained. Don’t trust the noise. This is not a normal party. Don’t enjoy it. just notice it and walk away. The only best thing you can do as you walk away in call relevant people. People like the law enforcement. If, they are not already aware of the matter. But stop lingering in a breaking ground. Get out fast. Stay out of trouble. Avoid trouble.
