Human will always disappoint: Be strong

There is a saying that every disappointment is a blessing, but I will say that some disappointment is a lesson learned the hard way.

Not every family member loves you, some don't wish for you to grow but God has a way of disappointing them.

Before I dive into this short story, your faith and trust should be in God in everything even if someone promises you.

I had just finished secondary and was waiting for admission likewise some of my cousins then. I started work, along the lines the my father's younger brother's contest for councilorship election in our hometown and he won. Everybody in the family was happy, there was jubilation everywhere, and we celebrated him.

Life continues, remember who much is given much is expected of him. There were expectations of what he would do for the family, which is everybody's concern, let him open a shop or any good business for his wife to manage, then help to train some of our family members' children who have lost both parents but what started to unfold wasn't what we all expected including the wife.

Now he refused to support his wife in starting any business, we called a family meeting, and he spoke to everyone rudely and even walked out. Now this is where I became disappointed in him. An opportunity came for him to add his family members to the customs service. My uncle shocked everybody, he added outsiders' names, removing my name, my brother's own even some of my cousin's name. When we find out, some people out of anger cut ties with him.

I was very hurt cause he made me pass through all the hustle and bustle to get into customs on my own only for him to be the reason I was removed, and he was telling me that another opportunity would come out. Long story short, another opportunity didn't come until he stepped down, and the annoying thing now, those he helped don't even care about him right now.

It was still us now that paid his children's school fees cause he couldn't afford it, No business anywhere. He is just working doing one or two to survive, more like feeding from hand to mouth. I just look at him with pity.
