May Article 2: Do Good Anyway

DO GOOD ANYWAY   “People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”  ― Mother Teresa   These are heart touching excerpts from the tables of Mother Theresa of Calcutta. It interests us to share these ife changing pieces with you. One goes down history lane and are touched by the richness of lessons of life expounded by great thinkers, some like the above who shroud themselves in thick self-effacing veils of anonymity on account of heroic humility. Yet, we fish them out because their goodness exude strong aromas.  Here, lets take a look at some of the lines. People are often unreasonabe and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. This hardly needs expounding. Since only about none in a thousand and perhaps then, none in a million may not be so, we are all too sobered to announce to you a sentence of unconditional pardoning of all your tresspassers for life!   If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. This strictly is assuming you at least are kind. Well, we thank God for that. We are well aware though, that you are all but too kind. So, we are happy to announce that this piece actually saves your back. The only wonder we may only entertain is that about how many people you have accused of even more than ulterior motives! We can only hope that now, an equivalent amount will benefit from your new found mind.   If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If mother theresa was in Nigeria, someone must be of the opininion that she will carefully avoid this word, as everyone will regard her as psychotic where she talks to herself! Well, do not be discourged yet, we learnt from Jesus that a few good salt are flavouring this porridge called Nigeria. We are all too proud to observe that our humble you is the only good salt in that neighbourhood. Up you, but note we tell you that you had better detected that debauchery on time or you they will render you bankrupt! However, mother theresa exhorts, go bankrupt anyway? No! Be honest anyway. Whatever that means.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.  Here, one observes that mother theresa made a provision for may be. The question is, have you found happiness? Goodluck if you’re still searchng for one but what if you find happiness in sin? Then ? Are you thinking what we are thinking? Hell no, because the saints won’t get jealous, only your friends from you know where. Genuine happiness, Mother Theresa must have concluded, is continually out of armslength. That your joy will be full is a consequenceof an action who that man that inspired Mother Theresa so much adviced somewhere in the bible, which you could search for and type in comment box to help others afer  you find it. Sure, some peope maybe jealous you typed it first but, if it is your happiness that you found it and did it, next line says, do good anyway.   The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.  Permit us to allude to our above immediate past task example.     Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.  Here again, Mother Theresa euphemistically expressed another strong point- it may never be enough. Wow! Is that how hungry the world is? Most surely yes. Give the world your best, it may never be enough, it would threaten to make you discouraged by rationalizing thus: that you may as well give second class since your best is not good enough, give your best all the same for you see, the next line completes the fact.     For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway! Oh! What a piece! Thank God for mother theresa, she has by this piece helped God to make this world so much better. Share to make viral the good news. See the poem of her which we would release this next coming day.   Lifeline magazine editorialcrew.
