The Duality of Human Nature: Light and Shadow
I remember working for a boss of mine, I thought I understood him better, because I know him to be a nice and very understanding person, and doesn't put too much pressure on people even when he is having a bad day, until he started to act some kind of way different from his way of response to things before, it was at the moment I understood that humans are complex to understand and that we should not focus on understanding that person. Still, we should focus on understanding ourselves in response to that person's nature.
Everything we strive to embody generosity, peace, love, empathy, and creativity was not born with us; it was created through our experiences and growth in life. We human beings were not born kind, but we chose it as the right decision to do and make for there to be peace in the country. I have seen life journey shape some of my friends to be greedy and become online thieves. Also, I have seen some of my friends have a growth in their careers and focus on becoming better people for society, and not act greedily for their selfish reasons. It's a matter of choice, and don't be surprised if there is a switch in the way a person acts towards us in life.
Life itself is unfair to so many people, but when we fail to accept who we are Nd what we must do to escape that current position or bondage, then it can negatively change us. We all have our dark shadows inside that we hide from people, I do too, and I try as much to avoid anything that will bring this act out of me towards anyone. To some of us, our inner shadows are jealousy, anger, insecurities, and fear. Funny enough, I actually have most of them listed here, but I try as much as possible to hide these feelings from the world and focus more on being a better version than yesterday.
The funny part of life is that we can't fully be perfect in life, especially acting all good towards everyone, there are sometimes emotions, pressures, or disturbances that can be overwhelming, and the best thing we can actually do at this moment is to react towards it and adjust ourselves faster than we can imagine. I believe life is not about choosing light over darkness but balancing both. In the same way, if the sun were too heavy, there would be serious consequences, and if there were no sun at all, then everything would be too dark. We humans need to learn to balance our negative and positive sides to be better people.
It is our duty to understand that nobody is perfect, and when someone makes an error or acts badly towards us, we should aim at condemning the person but understand the reasons behind that act first before releasing all those emotional responses.
