The most frightening
word it is when, why? Why the
question is “When”? Why?
You have heard the questions like, "When are you going to graduate?, When are you getting married?, When are you going to have children?, etc.
You have heard the questions like, "When are you going to graduate?, When are you getting married?, When are you going to have children?, etc.
This word became
one scourge that most do not want to be heard by many people, even for some
people the word "when" is a frightening word. Although not all of
them, but at least most of us, you may also be one of them who felt it. The series
of word "when" it seemed to have no end, even though we have done a
variety of word "when" that we've heard before, but there will always
be the word "when" for the next, and so on. It seemed never exhausted
to hear. So.. should we always get annoyed every time we hear the word of "when"
it came out of the mouth of someone who is around us?
NO, right?! Avoidance is
NOT the right option!
But when we
hear the word, one of which that we will do is avoid the word, is not it? Or especially when
we are so upset or do not like something, then the most natural reaction and we
often do is avoid it. It was indeed a very humane because nobody wanted to be
in the wrong place, right? The same thing will always do to avoid the word
"when" that might just have been too often we hear. Not only from
friends, but the word may always be ejected from those who are so close to us,
like family and friends, for example. We are reluctant and do not want to
always be cornered with the same question of them, then we will often avoid to
meet with them on various occasions that we will not hear that word.
If we do this too
often, then over time, we will be more willing to choose to not simply avoid
contact at a meeting only. However, we might even become very rarely go to an
event, although it is an important event for the family. We will look for any
excuse to not attend, even though the reason sometimes too unreasonable, but we
will continue to do it.
So.. STOP to do the
things like this! Because we will lose a lot of precious moments with the
people we love. Imagine how upset our family, especially our cousin that we did
not attend the wedding ceremony or how upset one of our best friends who is
looking forward to our presence at the graduation party. People who invite us
probably not being avoided, but other relatives or friends who will be present
at the same place on the show or event is exactly what we are avoiding. Then,
what's wrong they have invited us to the event? Has nothing to do, is not it?
IT'S ABOUT OURSELVES, NOT THEM!
SO... Do not always seek
to run away from reality, even by always avoiding the word "when"
that has been so closely on our hearing. If someone always asks it to us, then
just think of it as a form of attention on what we are going through and
experiencing today. We can also make it as a reference or motivate you to be
more active to achieve something you have to accomplish. We should not be
offended or angry when facing these questions, especially if it turns out we
really are in a condition like that, for example: not yet graduated up to eight
years, or even not have a spouse at the age which is almost forty years. Do not
be afraid and even avoid it, we can answer it.
Respond to any of
these questions with a relaxed and do not forget to ask them to pray for us,
especially in relation to the questions that have not materialized. If they so
have plenty of time to ask about it at every opportunity, it is very likely
they also would not mind to just pray for us at every chance they got, right? So, take the
positive side.
