The Other Side

Are you wondering what is the other side that this blog is about?

Our life has two sides, which I define as One Side and The Other Side. We recognize both sides but we just tend to appreciate One Side. However, The Other Side has something to do with our lives too. Moreover, both sides of life are blessings to all people living.

One Side of life is all about the things that we want in life, the things we want to achieve, the things that makes us happy and the reasons why we still want to continue living in this world. This side of life also includes our inspirations, aspirations, and imaginations. In general, this side of life pertains to the positive things of life that keeps us going.

Now, let's proceed to The Other Side.

The Other Side of life is all about the challenges, problems, hindrances, failures, or shall we say everything that makes life very tough. This side includes the reasons why we are about to give up on life, or the small things why we say life is unfair to us. (Well, actually, life is fair.) However, this other side of life, all the reasons, are also blessings just like the One Side. Sometimes, we think these problems are just to make us suffer, but we don't notice this gives lessons on how we can be wise to live our lives. We think life gives us problems, but we don't understand that it is a reason why we are still alive.

We only take for granted the things on The Other Side of life just because these are problems, compared to One Side which gives satisfaction to us. Well, here are some things from the Other Side which can give us realizations that these are just blessings for us.

Your family has financial problems to pay for your tuition in school.
You are blessed you are sent to school.

You suddenly lost your internet connection.
You are blessed you have your computer system and more blessed you have internet connection.

You are fat and clothes don't fit your body.
You are blessed you have enough food to eat.

You are not as beautiful as the people around you.
One person will love you as you are and for who you are.

You failed to be employed in the business.
You still have opportunities to be employed on best companies.

You have blurry or poor eyesight.
You are blessed you have eyes that can see the beauty of life.

Some people walk kilometers away from school.
They are blessed they are capable of walking and they have the privilege to go to school.

You will have a test regarding the lessons in school.
You are blessed you learned.

People pay taxes from their salaries.
It just means they are employed.

People are complaining to the government.
It shows there is freedom of speech.

Mothers have many clothes for laundry.
She is with her family together.

We experience many hardships and sleepless nights for school.
You are educated and capable to graduate.

You feel pain and get sick.
You are blessed to have a body.

You are sad now.
It means you know and experienced what is happiness.

You don't have lights in your home.
You are blessed your family has your own house.

Your alarm clock is waking you up.
You are blessed you are still alive.

You are about to quit loving God.
God will never quit loving you.

Those are just some of all the problems we encounter in life. The first statements pertain to the problems or challenges we encounter, the second statements prove those are blessings.

We have One Side which gives us the positive outlook in life, The Other Side gives the negative happenings in life. This proves that our life is Balanced, the positive and negative gives a neutral path.

We don't have to worry in our life, we may enjoy the One Side, we may be challenged by The Other Side, we are still in the journey where everything that happens in our life is neutral. Everyone's journey is in the neutral path, we just have to live with it.

One Side plus The Other Side is equal to "Life is Fair".
