I own a postcard with the saying:
Who wants to have a guarantee in life is to buy a toaster.
I like the postcard and the saying much because they reflect our lives as much. Our life is pretty garantielos. And once you start to rely on the life and current life situation and life circumstances, changes usually very fast and suddenly something that shows us that there is no guarantee.
You can register today totally healthy and feel fit and are lying in the hospital tomorrow.
you can still understand you with someone good, who turns away from you tomorrow.
you can now have a job tomorrow and be fired.
you can be happy today and tomorrow, infinitely sad.
I know this is very pessimistic and does not necessarily realistic. Because for most things, there are triggers that are rarely just over night. There is no guarantee it. And least of interpersonal things.
But what is the consequence? We can finally not only as friends Toaster . Keep Also, a hairdryer, a lamp, so not even a computer can replace what we find in human.
The only thing that helps is always found new confidence and re-engage it, even without warranty.
But if one has been injured often, if not always in the same style, then you ask yourself where you want for your beautiful hernehmen that trust. Feelings you can now not as easy as ordering a pizza. We long for permanence and people have shown us in this world again and again the opposite. We want guarantees and do not get it. Not in this world.
In my life there is only one person is always there for me to understand me more, I can always trust that gives me even a guarantee for our friendship and that is God. Maybe you're not the religious type and you say, you can not believe in God. I can say is, after all I have in my life (and that's not so terribly old) experienced disappointments and injuries to people, to transfer and turning away, I actually have no reason to trust any man in any way. And I do it anyway because I know that God is my guarantee. And go away even if all the people, because he remains. If all people hurt me, he will love me more. With such a guarantee "in the sleeve," can not cut down a lot.
course, I go near such negative things and I often respond inappropriately. But God will not leave me and stamped me. And even when I lie on the ground, I am impressed by circumstances and situations and feelings leave, he will build me again.
And then the question is: What
you trust? On people, on a toaster or God?
Thanks for reading.
