Hmm, how sensitive
are you when dealing with people of such nature. Those people who you think
they truly care for you, but within them, they do not. Those people who pretend
to be “this” at your presence but they are “that” when you are not around.
Oh! Or you
think they don’t exist? You think “it is a lie; there is no way on earth this
man or woman would this to you? Huh, I can trust this man or woman (boy or
girl) with every bit of my life”. Wake up friend! They are right there. Just
right there beside you. Yes, that man or woman you just left her office! Yes,
that boy or girl you just dropped his or her call! Even that your blood and
your family member are predisposed to failing you. Is hope alive?
Sometimes it
is not that human tends to disappoint you. It is just that it is beyond their capability
or understanding; after all they fail your expectation. They can promise you
this or that, and sometimes this may be genuine, but eventually one thing or the
other stop them from doing so, even if they try to move heaven and earth to
fulfill their promises for you. This I call human limitations that can lead to
disappointment. They are much more beyond them. Ultimately they let you down.
INSTANCE 1: I heard the story of a young boy who
his brother gave the assurance that he would secure a job for him immediately
he finishes his first degree in the university. This man was so certain about
securing job for his younger brother, and he often boast that nothing on earth
can stop this from happening, in as much as he breathes. The mentality and
assurance this innocent young boy had made him to put all his hope on his
brother’s words, since his brother has never failed him before. He often brags
about this promise when he is in the midst of his friends. But unfortunately
for him, the day the job is to be given to him was the same day his brother was
sacked because the financial recession in the company.
INSTANCE 2: this happen to someone close to me.
This boy was seeking admission into higher institution. He met the admission
requirement, but despite that, he thought giving his credentials to people that
have influence on the institution would spur his admission process. The man he
gave promised him that the admission is done. Without a clear reason, the boy
couldn’t secure the admission ultimately. He went back to meet this man, and
the man told him that he too doesn’t understand how it happened. Eventually, the
boy found out that it was that same man that replaced his name with another
person of more preference.
I cannot
keep siting examples about disappointment because you have been a victim of
such one time or the other. I’m not saying you should be totally cynical about
people’s promise for you, what I’m saying in a nut-shell is that unless God
helps you or helps the man that promises to help you, you are bound to be
disappointed.
Beside, why
on earth must you look up to a man that he, himself, is looking up to something
else or someone else for help? I’m sure he would love to settle his case first
before he remembers yours. To be frank, unless God helps, to err is human when
it comes to the fulfillment of promise.
