One tenth.

For today's post, i would touch on the topic of the human's goodwill and benevolence. Humans by nature are goodwilled, magnimous and selfless. It was good. However, there is a throng of people who are slowly changed by society. We soon become selfish, easily jealous and highly competitive. We deride someone in hopes of being part of a posse and want copious accolades in order to survive the tough competition built by the male's ego and influence. By pride.

Thus, winning one of these competition would bring joy, jubilance, pride and confidence. Your friends proclaim that they're happy for you. Glad that you won. But how many of those friends of yours are candid. Are being 100% honest about it, that they're happy for you.

Victories, spanning from imperceptible sensitive issues such as attention from your peers to conspicuous championship over national competitions, invite envy, dislike, gossips, abhorrence and worst of all, a strain in perhaps some of your friendships. Sarcastic remarks would follow, coupling with schemes and plots.

Out of 10 people, there is only 1 person who would congratulate you, to candidly congratulate you, sharing your joy, giving you the truefully sweetest laughter and smile. And for the winner, he would only be glad that he has, even if it is, one such of a friend. To be able to put down his or her pride to lift him up.

And, it is really pointless to become all green with envy if your friend triumps over you in something no matter how inconsequential or significant. Afterall he or she is your friend. Why strain the friendship over something so easily forgotten as time passes. Why give up the friendship which took so much blood and sweat, time and respect to build. Something which could probably last ten times more than any number of victories remembered?

So, be that one tenth who would cling onto a friend no matter what happens, good or bad, for it truely is pointless being the majority nine tenth.

Be that one tenth.
