 LIFE AS YOU SEE IT>>>>

It is truly not always greener on the other side.

Beatrice met her friend Favour two years after school, and Beatrice was driving a sleek Mercedes Benz. Favour went home weeping and feeling awful for herself. What she didn't know was that Beatrice had been sent to run an errand with the car.

Christine always nagged about her husband for not being romantic by not getting down to open the car door for her as Jane's husband did when he dropped her at work. Christine didn't know that Jane's husband's car was faulty and the door could only be opened from the outside.

Life does not have a universal measuring tool, so create yours and use it.

Looking at people and comparing yourself with them will never make you happy, you'd continue to have pains of what is not even real.

Matthew 6:25 said, Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?.

Contentment is not the fulfillment of what we want but the appreciation for what we have. Be content with what you have and in everything, give thanks to God!

The Painful Reality of Life: When the Rain Stops, the Umbrella Becomes a Burden

Life often teaches us some of its harshest lessons through the simplest of metaphors. Consider the umbrella, a faithful companion during a storm. It shelters us, keeps us dry, and provides comfort against the elements. But once the rain ceases, that very umbrella, so crucial moments ago, becomes a cumbersome burden. This transition captures a painful truth about loyalty and human relationships: when the benefits cease, so too does the loyalty. In our lives, many people flock to us not for who we are but for the value we bring and the benefits they can derive from us. They thrive on the opportunities, support, and advantages we offer. As long as we are useful, as long as we can provide shelter from life's storms, we are cherished and needed. But when the rain stops—when the benefits diminish—these same people often disappear, leaving us to ponder the true nature of our connections. This realization can be incredibly disheartening. We yearn for genuine relationships, for loyalty that...

My 96-Hour Goose Chase

A few days ago, I embarked on a journey I never imagined I would experience. It all started with a simple goal: to clear a small debt that had been weighing on me. I thought that taking a small loan would be the best solution to get back on my feet and settle everything. Little did I know that this decision would lead me into a 96-hour goose chase that cost me time, money, and trust. I began my search for a loan online, and after some browsing, I came across a Finance company that seemed legitimate. I reached out to them, eager to resolve my situation. After completing all the necessary forms on their website, they informed me that my credit score was low and, therefore, I wouldn't be approved for the loan unless I paid an upfront amount equal to one month's repayment (450 AED). They assured me that this amount would be refunded once the loan was processed and credited to my account. Naively, I rushed to the ATM to deposit the requested amount. Here's a breakdown of what fo...
