What we do in LIFE echoes in ETERNITY

While browsing facebook, I saw this line (What we do in life echoes in eternity) in one of the status post to one of my friends in Facebook. The line came from a famous movie Gladiator. At first, I never got the interest to read it again but something was getting into my mind that I have to write this blog in relation to it.


Last week, I accidentally joined my officemates together with one of the Top personalities in our company. He offered us a coffee in a coffee shop near the office, his treat. This manager has a reputation of too strict and inconsiderate to the majority of people in our company. Probably because of how strict he transact with people. He aims for perfection but upon noticing him, he is not getting it, but he gets the opposite of it.


The time I got hired in our company, I seemingly getting a little bit of information or background of this person I am referring to. He grew up in a military dad, strict and perfectionist family. No doubt about it because you'll notice him acting snappy and strict to his people. It also came to my information about his partner's incapability of getting pregnant. For so long, they've been trying and trying but nothing positive is coming. Until the time they've given up and just enjoyed being together. He is a good provider according to him coz he provides every need of his wife. Shopping, travel, big house, everything, name it and he can give it. He is considerable as blessed with all the material things in this life has to offer.


But while he is conversing with us, he told us that it is not easy to have everything you need and want but not having a child. He longs to have one but he and his wife knows that it'll be impossible unless they'll go adopting a child. It doesn't interests him because according to him, he doesn't know where and what background does this child will be coming from. 


To continue, he just decided to be in his strict and perfectionist personality, not noticing sometimes he hits the emotional aspect of the person he is shouting to or nagging to. Probably as a result of what his status right now, he'll just remain as strong, hard and unapproachable person so to speak. Even if he chose to be what he is right now, I still can see emotions in his personality. He needs something badly that he could not get it even if he has a lot of money. He needs something that can satisfy his hard work after a long day in the office. He needs someone who can be his "barkada" when he became old and get sick. 


How does this relate to the line up above? In my point of view and opinion, the incapabilities and the weaknesses we have doesn't matter on how we get along with people. What a person like him is doing right now will have a consequence in eternity. Along the way, while he is acting a negative actions, he projects an unrespectable personality. He earns a negative view of what he really is. 


What we are doing right now, either it is good and acceptable to people or bad and unacceptable to people will have an immediate corresponding bounce-backing to us. According to the bible, what you sow, you reap. Our actions should be sensitive enough to what result it can deliver in the future. Either someone hits you so bad or someone greeted you so nice, it is all up to what we are expecting in return. If we want a smooth, nice and great future let's do some smooth, nice and great actions today for if we do some inconsiderable, bad and unacceptable things today, expect an inconsiderable, bad and unacceptable things in the future. May it be in the same situation or it can be on another aspect of your life. 


Everyone goes through a lot of things in this life, honestly, most of it are unacceptable and hurtful. No one lives in this earth without hurts or pain, everyone goes through it. But you know what can set you apart from the whole world of hurts, pains and disappointments? It's your ATTITUDE towards those hurtful situations. What kind of attitude we are expressing when we experience unacceptable things? Is is the same unacceptable one that's why we reap an unacceptable and hurtful ones as well? Or we plant positive to the negative that's why it is more likely to produce positivity? You decide, it is your life. 


God loves us so much to be negative everyday of our lives. He loves us so much to give us a choice of beautiful tomorrow. It is just us, we just have to choose and we just have to choose life over death, positive over negative, happiness over hurts and pain. It's in our decision to be what we would want to be in the future. He loves us and what ever happens, good or bad, He will not forsake us nor leave us...
