WHAT EVIDENCE ARE YOU GATHERING? - QUELLES PREUVES RASSEMBLEZ-VOUS ?
We all have the right to make choices that benefit us. There is however a problem with trying to speak ill of something or somewhere from which you have previously benefitted. Do not allow your personal sentiments and grudges to blind you to the benefits you once enjoyed. It is alright to give up but it is not alright to make it your mission to make sure that other people see things from your point of view. You can talk about your decision without pushing your personal experience as the only valid experience because some other people might have a totally different experience. When you decide to quit, you will gather enough negative experience to do so. On the other hand, the people who have decided to stay have also gathered enough positive evidence to do so. Life is not usually black and white.
It is amazing how people who have given up on something can produce enough evidence to convince themselves and some others why they do not want that particular thing anymore. The truth of the matter is that as they try to convince others, they are actually trying to convince themselves as well so they always go about gathering evidence to favour their cause. The reason is that they have chosen not to see the other side of the matter, so they have to find enough evidence to support their choice. Identity whatever you are working so hard to defend and check the motive behind it. You have a right to your choice but just be sure that you making that choice in all sincerity. When you are convinced that your motives are right, you will not put so effort into trying to convince others to follow. You will be at peace with yourself and leave everyone else to be judge unto themselves.
There are people who are so passionate about something that they get angry at anyone who does not see from their perspective. The very experiences that are pushing you out are actually pulling other people in. Just as there is enough evidence to support your move, others also have enough evidence to keep them in. Whatever we decide to do with our lives, we will find ample evidence to support our choices. Two people will always get something different from any situation depending on the choices they have made or want to make. These choices are personal and should be respected.
You can give your opinion if you think you have to but, that does not mean that you will be offended if people do not agree with you. Where some people are seeing ashes, others are seeing beauty. It all depends on how they have decided to see what life presents to them. If you are around people who do not have the same perspective as you, you must must determine to respect their opinions unless it has to do with a matter of life and death. Even at that, there is how far you can go. Always remember that as we go through life, everyone is gathering evidence to support their own opinion. That is how life works.
Do have a great day!
Nous avons tous le droit de faire des choix qui nous sont bénéfiques. Cependant, il est problématique de dénigrer quelque chose ou un lieu dont on a profité par le passé. Ne laissez pas vos sentiments personnels et vos rancunes vous aveugler sur les avantages que vous avez autrefois appréciés. Il est normal d'abandonner, mais il n'est pas acceptable de se donner pour mission d'imposer son point de vue aux autres. Vous pouvez parler de votre décision sans pour autant présenter votre expérience personnelle comme la seule valable, car d'autres personnes peuvent avoir une expérience totalement différente. Lorsque vous décidez d'abandonner, vous accumulez suffisamment d'expériences négatives pour prendre cette décision. En revanche, ceux qui ont décidé de persévérer ont également accumulé suffisamment d'éléments positifs. La vie n'est généralement pas binaire.
Il est étonnant de constater comment ceux qui ont renoncé à quelque chose parviennent à produire suffisamment d'arguments pour se convaincre eux-mêmes et convaincre les autres de leur refus. En réalité, lorsqu'ils tentent de convaincre les autres, ils essaient aussi de se convaincre eux-mêmes, et s'efforcent donc constamment de rassembler des preuves qui appuient leur cause. La raison est simple : ils ont choisi d'ignorer l'autre point de vue, et doivent donc trouver des preuves suffisantes pour justifier leur décision. Identifiez ce que vous défendez avec tant d'acharnement et examinez vos motivations profondes. Vous avez le droit de faire vos propres choix, mais assurez-vous d'être sincère. Convaincu de la justesse de vos motivations, vous n'aurez plus besoin de déployer autant d'efforts pour convaincre les autres. Vous serez en paix avec vous-même et laisserez chacun se faire son propre avis.
Certaines personnes sont tellement passionnées qu'elles s'emportent contre quiconque ne partage pas leur point de vue. Ce qui vous éloigne d'une cause attire paradoxalement d'autres personnes. De même qu'il existe suffisamment de preuves pour justifier votre décision, d'autres en ont aussi pour la maintenir. Quel que soit notre choix de vie, nous trouverons toujours des arguments solides pour le soutenir. Deux personnes tireront toujours des enseignements différents d'une même situation, selon les choix qu'elles ont faits ou qu'elles souhaitent faire. Ces choix sont personnels et doivent être respectés.
Vous pouvez donner votre avis si vous le jugez nécessaire, mais cela ne signifie pas que vous vous offenserez si les autres ne sont pas d'accord avec vous. Là où certains voient des cendres, d'autres voient la beauté. Tout dépend de la façon dont chacun perçoit la vie. Si vous côtoyez des personnes qui n'ont pas la même perspective que vous, vous devez vous engager à respecter leurs opinions, sauf en cas de danger de mort. Même dans ce cas, il y a des limites. N'oubliez jamais qu'au fil de la vie, chacun cherche à étayer son opinion. C'est ainsi que va la vie.
Passez une excellente journée !
