Over the last 5-6 days I have had the feeling to post the famous words,
“Be careful what you wish for, you just may just get it!“
I keep forgetting to post it. So here it is again.
°
As far as I can tell it means that we can want something, some situation, someone out of our life etc, but when we get our wish we realised that we tossed away something that matters to us a lot.
°
They say that we don’t realize what we have lost, until we have lost it. Many times in life we can make the terrible mistake of taking good unselfish people for granted and wishing them out of our life, or refusing their help, but then the realization of what we have lost after this person is gone hits us in a terrible feeling of loss, and a lifetime of regrets as we are left with people who don’t measure up at all to this person’s standards and quality of friendship/leadership etc.
°
Reminds me of the song Burning Bridges where someone is being helped but he or she refuses to accept the help, or refuses to take the help, and just walks uncaring away from the help, and then one day realises that he or she has what they want, but it is really not what he or she really wants for their own life.
This person burns the bridges between themself and the good people who genuinely could have helped the person.
In the end this person will end up with fairweather friends and has carelessly lost all the important genuine friends in their life.
°
In my own life sometimes I correct myself when I wish for something gone, because I try to see myself living without that person or thing, event etc, and stop myself in my tracks for just about to be very carelessly foolish.
I have little trouble departing from the company of careless, mean, narcissists types of people though.
°
But I am also aware that I can remove the wrong people from my life as well.
*
Jesus tried to tell the people that once Jesus was gone that they would be very sorry.
°
Some people have “ears to hear”, and some don’t.
°
All the best from
James M Sandbrook.
