To think positively, to see the good thing

In our daily life, we always encounter with various type of people with different characteristics. Some of which, we like to be with but some may be we hate it at all. I have a friend who always reminds me that we should always see the good thing in people even though we don’t like the person. Sounds weird isn’t it because we tend to avoid someone whom we categorize as “not-doing-good” type of person.

It intrigues me to think deeply why my friend said so. I even asked her, how to do that? How to teach ourselves to see the good thing in people? She said, no matter what happened we must always try to take things positively. Accept any criticism with an open heart, an open mind. “Tidak ada yang tak berguna dalam setiap ciptaanNya..” she added as simple as that. Thus, no matter how crook or bad the person is, there must be something in him/her which eventually will return good thing to us. Just believe that. “..tidaklah sesuatu itu dijadikan sia-sia..”. To always think positive towards others is not easy or simple as what some people might think. Even if it is hard, try to have that features built-in in our soul. If we see good thing in people, we will realize that others will see the entire good thing in us, in ourselves. After all we are all human being, we live in this world, perhaps until 60 or 70 years or perhaps reaching 100 if you’re lucky. But we will never ever young forever. There will be a moment, where the angel name Izrail comes and when the time comes, we will realize that, that is the end of our life. What’s next? Our next life will be determined based on what we have done in this little tiny world. It is all up to us.

p/s: I wrote this as a reminder for me too.
