🔮 What Life Just Taught Me
A post by Ebenezer Agbey Quist
When I was a child, my mom and I embarked on a short journey and returned by a sprinter. I was very young by then.
So young and portable that anyone could carry me however they pleased without consent from me.
When it was time for us to alight, I realized my mom was behind me and so I'd have to get down by myself.
I was excited. I always got carried in moments like this. "Not this time" or so I thought.
I waited a second to check height I needed to descend from and got myself ready to make my big stride.
Just when I was about to step down, a pair of hands grabbed me by the sides, uprooting me from the sprinter and planting me gently on the ground.
I was unhappy. The onlookers, including my mom, were pleased with the young man for his heroic act.
But all I saw was a dream killer. Someone who robbed me off my only opportunity to do something for myself and feel like a man.
THE LESSON
Now, surely, my rage was misplaced. I could have easily gotten hurt if I made that jump myself.
Plus, I was too young to want things done in my own accord.
However, life has taught me that good is not always regarded as good if it's forced on people.
If you're crazy about helping someone, don't make it mandatory. Convince them to understand your actions before going ahead to perform them.
People have a right to have what they want, be it good or bad. You must understand this first. Then, you can adequately offer assistance that will make the right impact and also be appreciated.
Don't wait to learn to this the hard way.

What Life Just Taught Me
WHERE DOES HE THINK HE CAN GO TO?
A post by Ebenezer Agbey Quist
My white shirt was missing. I searched everywhere and couldn't find it. This got me raged.
I was in form one in senior high school by then. If you went to a school like mine, you'd know that our white shirt meant the world to us.
So whenever it happened that someone stole yours, you got really mad about it.
Luckily, I had made a hidden mark on mine before it got missing. I was infuriated and determined to find the culprit that very evening using the mark.
I made a mind-list of all the suspects I could think of and started to trim down the number based on evidence I saw.
Finally, I settled on a guy named Bentley. We both were built the same way. That night, even from afar, I could see myself in the shirt he was wearing.
I made up my mind to apprehend this guy once we get back from evening studies (prep).
While on our way back, I spotted Bentley far ahead of me, pacing extremely fast to reach the hostel before me and change quickly.
But I wouldn't let that happen. I rushed and got ahead of him.
Upon reaching the hostel, I stood akimbo, right on the compound in the glaring light to catch him once he pops up.
My plan was to first show him the hidden mark I made on the shirt, strip him and warn him never to repeat that act.
Finally, he showed up. Immediately he stepped on the compound and saw me, he turned right back and walked off.
"Where does he think he can go to? He thinks he's smart," I said to myself.
I resolved to wait until he gets tired and returns.
Minutes later, he came back. I marched closer to him, checked the spot I'd made my trademark on the shirt and saw nothing.
A closer look at the shirt also made it clear to me that I was totally wrong. But the whole scenario was confusing to me.
Why was he rushing unusually to the hostel? Why did he turn back when he saw me?
It turns out, Bentley had no idea he was walking really fast.
Also, just when he was entering the hostel, Bentley remembered drying his clothes on the wall adjacent to our hostel. And that's what he went to check on.
Several clean counts of evidence I got against the young man but he was still innocent.
That very moment, I told Bentley, "you have taught me a lesson I'll never forget".
He was shocked and sought to know more but I refused to tell him.
The Lesson
Sometimes, in life, what we see is determined by what we expect to see.
No matter how much evidence you have against something or someone, be open-minded and prepared to be surprised.
