sometimes we don't get exactly what we think we deserve, sometimes life becomes a little bit unfair, sometimes it seems you are left behind among your contemporary.

I remember when gaining admission into the universities was a problem. I had a friend that was lucky to gain admission before me.

Whenever I went to visit him, his mother would say he was not at home. My friend started giving me attitudes. He stopped coming to my house. When I asked him what the problem was, he opened up and told me his mother had warned him to stop associating with me because I might not be happy he gained admission, while I was still at home. Ah, I cried. Honestly I was pained.

Fast forward 5 years later, I have gained admission, and even graduated. My friend was still in the university. It was a 5 years course but he changed department and ended up spending 6 years.

One day His mother saw me in the neighbourhood shortly after my graduation and asked if I was on holiday. I said Holiday ke? Mummy, I have graduated.

You can imagine the look on her face. Lol. I graduated with 2nd class upper, a year later my friend graduated with 3rd class.

Some of us are guilty of this:

When we have our houses filled with kids. Our loyal friends struggling to have kids become our enemies. We push them away, for fear they might be jealous and unhappy.

Once we get married, Our loyal single friends become enemies, We push them away.

Once we get employed, Our loyal jobless friends become enemies, We push them away.

Once we get to the top. Our loyal friends at the bottom become enemies, We push them away.

When we are happily married. Our loyal friends that are unfortunately divorcees become our enemies, We push them away.

When we have food and water. Our loyal friends struggling to survive become our enemies, We push them away.

When we make money, those who are our elders before are no longer honored or respected, we disdainfully push them away

Nobody is your enemy, you are only being an enemy to them. We quickly forget that life is not static. It moves and changes any time. That is why the Holy Book states *that the first shall be the last and the last the first: the race is not to the swift or strong but to God who shows mercy

When you condemn a situation along with the person in the situation. You are only gambling. At the end, the winner is always the person you condemned, the person you least expected.

This is food for thought for every man.

Destiny can be delayed but not denied. It's a proven fact.
